[geimeannan]
-
A’ h-uile gin de na geimeannan (no cluicheannan) a thog mi an seo shuas, cho fada agus a tha lorg agam, tha iad air an aon stéidh. Cha mhath tha cuimhne agam an diugh, gu mionaideach dé mar a bha iad a’ dol. Geimeannan am measg nan curracagan, abair sin. Gu leòir, agus feadhainn a bhiodh sinn fhìn a’ deanamh, a thuilleadh air feadhainn shuidhichte bho shean, mar falach-fead (bìog falach fead a bh’againne air.) Cha b’ann a’ fàs ’s a’ fàs na b’àirde chun an adhair a bhiodh na curracagan idir mar a bhiodh na làithean agus na h-oidhcheannan a’ dol seachad. Agus abair nach b’ann!

gugalaghù no fiog-falach-fead

hide and seek. The player who had to ‘seek’ the others had the following to recite after he had finished counting up to the previously agreed upon number: “Gugalaghù air a chathair / Ma tha duine air mo chùlthaobh / No air mo bheulthaobh, / Sgiob air a shon, tha mise ri ’g eiridh.” Anyone trying to take an unfair advantage by staying too close to the ‘cathair’ was thus automatically counted out.
