,,Jurgeli meistreli"

One player – the Master – stands in the middle and everyone dances around him. Then he has to show what to do (jump, clap or etc.) and all have to do after the Master. After this, master chooses the next Master and so on. When Master is in the middle, everyone dances around him and sings: Jurgeli meistreli, George master,

Mokyk savo vaikus, Teach your little children

O jūs vaikai taip darykit, And you, children, do the same

Kaip Jurgelis daro As master shows you.

Poor bunny

Wheel travel all riders, not necessarily in pairs, cling to a circle with one "bunny" inside.

1. Circle (8 pcs.) 1-8 tacts.

Sing:

 Hare poor, How did you get fucked here?

2 time. Quietly, in a simple step, the quarter wheel is turned to the right. "Bunny" goes in the opposite direction.

2. Wheel and "fence" (16 tkt.) 1-4 bars Iron gates, Silver wheels.

The wheel continues to turn to the right, only now the step is every eighth. "Bunny" looks at where it will flow. 5 stroke Neither are you here, ... After singing "here", all riders raise their hands up - they show the gate. "bunny" is trying to escape. To avoid it, riders can completely narrow the gaps through which the "Bunny" rushes.

6-8 tacts ... than you are here - You won’t slip anywhere. Now, after singing "here", everyone lowers their hands and turns the circle further. "Hare" can no longer escape. Tacts 9-16

If the "bunny" failed to escape to the outside of the wheel, the text and movements of bars 1 to 8 are repeated.

Usually a smarter "bunny" is able to trick the riders and get out of the wheel. In the middle then goes the one through whose right hand the "bunny" escaped. If the "hare" was clumsy, the wheel is still repeated, only it can be turned to the left.

Play until you get bored.

BURSA-TURKEY

Traditional game of Turkey

I have the letter ; where is the letter, it is in postman ,where is postman.

Postman leaves the letter behind the child who receives the letter tries to catch postman, if she\he does not , new postman will be the child.

Hide and seek 

Girls older than 15 said they didn’t play this game any more because they considered it too simple. The player to be “it” is chosen by choosing stones. Whichever player guesses which hand the stone is in is freed from being “it,” and it continues until someone is chosen. The “it” closes his or her eyes until the children hiding says “okay, we’re ready.” Then “it” starts hunting them. The first child seen is “it” for the next game. As soon as “it” finds someone, he/she yells “ebe var!” (we have an “it”) and the other children come out of their hiding places. -Istanbul.

I sell butter 

First someone as chosen to be “it.” Then the players sit in a circle on the floor facing each other. The player who is “it” takes a handkerchief, ties a knot in one corner, and sings the song that gives the game its name:

I sell butter, I sell honey. My master has died, and I sell it. My master’s fir is yellow

If I sell it, it’s 15 liras. Zam-bak Zum-bak

Turn and take a good look behind you. As the child who is “it” walks around, he/she places the handkerchief behind one of the players without him seeing it. As soon as the player notices the handkerchief, he grabs it and starts chasing the “it.” If the “it” manages to sit in his place without being caught, the one who got the handkerchief then becomes “it.” If he is not caught then he continues as “it.” In another version, the player who chases the “it” hits him with the knotted end of the handkerchief until he manages to sit in his place. Then the child with the handkerchief continues as “it” in the next round.

Where is the ring? )

The object is to pass a ring across the fingers of one hand without any help from the other hand. The player takes the ring in his/her hand and tosses it in the air, then catches it on the back of the same hand. The ring on the hand is passed between the index and middle finger, then between the remaining fingers. If the player drops the ring or fails to pass it between the other fingers, he/she receives some punishment.

Hopstock game 

This is played by two or more boys or girls. The children draw the pattern shown below and then shuffle stones over it with their feet. The object is to move the rock through the pattern without it touching the lines. Of course the players must also not step on the lines. Each child must shuffle the stone through the squares hopping on one foot. The game is starting by throwing the stone onto square 1. The player then hops on one foot and with his foot, kicks the stone onto the second square. They throw the stones on the first, then second and third squares and hop through them. The player hops to the stone in the right square and then knocks the stone out of it with his foot. If the stone lands on the line, the player steps on a line, or steps with both feet where he is not allowed to do so, then he loses his turn and the second player begins. When each player’s turn comes, they pick up where they left off. When a player reaches square 5, he/she may step with both feet.

I' ve taken, I' ve given, I' ve won you

The two children step towards each other and say this rhyme. I've taken, I' ve given, I won you, they take a step for each word. The player whose last foot is on the foot of the other player wins.
