The Doing, Doing
Factory
Kirsty is 9 years old and tells
us about a game played when aged 7. My school break times: I Play the Doing
Doing Factory. I skip with a rope. I play chases. If it is windy I sometimes
get blown up and down the school playground. I sometimes play wall tig
in the school porch.
My favourite school playground
game: My favourite playground game is “The Doing Doing Factory”.
How to play: My fiends and
I made this game up for ourselves. It is a game with two teams. The Doing
Doings are the goodies and the Ding Dongs are the baddies. The Ding Dongs
have to steal our magic potions or they will die. We have to get the potions
back or they will take over the Doing Doing Factory. The game carries over
from one playtime to the next and ends when we have run out of plastic
bottles. For the potions you need grass, dock leaves, some flower heads,
tea leaves, stones and soil. These go into a plastic bottle with some water.
Special game location, surface
or design: We play anywhere. The playing surface can be bumpy, smooth,
grassy or muddy. There is no special language involved. (Kirsty Miller,
