Badminton

This game is a very hard, exciting and intereting one to play.We can play this game as a singles or doubles match.
There are two pieces of equipment called the racket and shuttlecock. These are very expensive in my country.
The game is played in a court. In the middle is a net about five feet high.
If we play singles we remove the sideline. If we play doubles we use the whole court.
Badminton is an international game.
I like playing badminton. I play for my office.

Hide and Seek


Any number of children can play this game.
Firstly we must select the girl who will do the seeking.
The others hide.
The seeker closes her eyes and starts counting. When she finishes he asks, "Are you ready?"
The others say, "Yes, we're ready"
After that the seeker must find the others.
If she finds a boy the seeker is released from her post.
The seeker can now hide and the boy who was found has to count.
That's the game!
