What games do you play with your mates outside of school or at break times?

Maybe with the hot weather you've been doing some indoor activities.

While England's footballers aren't on the pitch training or playing in World Cup matches, they've been spending time together by playing games.

Some of the games England's players have been playing are called Wolf, SkyJo and Imposter.

Wolf is described as being similar to the BBC show The Traitors. SkyJo is a card game where players try to get the lowest score. Imposter is a word game where one person does not get the same secret word as everyone else, and the others have to work out who it is.

England midfielder Morgan Rogers told BBC Sport that Jude Bellingham brought SkyJo into the camp.

Rogers said: "Jude bought it, it's a bit of a different one. I've never seen it before, but we're addicted at the moment."

The two players have known each other since childhood, having both grown up in the West Midlands.

"Yeah, we're really close," said Rogers. "We spend pretty much all the time together, in the free time and stuff."

One of the more senior players Jordan Henderson is playing a key role in building team bonding while the players aren't training.

"He's looking after us while me and Jude are squabbling with each other," Rogers said.

"We call him unc [uncle] at the moment, which he's not happy about at all."
