Many held (hands), one holding the hand of the other. Now, there is a hole, you see. They would go round. Two girls would strike the hand of one another and one would run off. When they struck her hand, she would run off and enter into the hole. Then she would come out and go elsewhere and then go to some other place. The other girl has to follow after her. Every place that she goes to and enters, the other has to follow after her. If she makes a mistake (and enters the wrong place), she sits down. They play this game for fun. Men sometimes played with a hat. They put it on the ground and played with it with their feet. Now, (suppose) I have a hat which I have put on the ground, you would come to strike it with your foot, then I strike you with my hand. Then you put your hat on the ground. They would play like that, in the snow.
