Fox and Goose Winter Game

It snowed in Osoyoos BC over night and the soft snow outside our trailer reminded my of the Fox and Goose games the students played during the 1940's Gallivan school days. I realized that I did not include that in my autobiography-"Notes and Clippings- it all started in Saskatchewan"

So this morning with, Randal's photography, I  recorded what I remember of the rules.

                  

Start with a freshly snowed area.

Have fun play for hours trying not to get tagged.
