Relishable outdoor games
(Cont.)
ReeRee KaoSarn
(London Bridge)
| ........The more the merrier.
To play this game, two children clasp and raise their
hands while the others walk in procession and go
underneath. At once, the two sing, |
| |
"ReeRee
KaoSarn |
|
Song Tanan KaoPleuk |
|
| |
Lueak Tong BaiLan |
|
Kod Kao Sai Jarn |
|
| |
Geb Bia TaiToon
Ran |
|
Pan Aow Kon Kang Lang
Wai" |
|
| ........At the end of
the song, the couple lowers their arms and traps
the unfortunate one who passes underneath. Once
trapped, the person will be eliminated. Therefore, the
players must try not to be trapped.
The pair can either slow down or quicken their songs
to trick their fellows, so that they can trap them
more easily. |
|
|
| |
Mon Sorn Pa (Mon hides a cloth)
| ........Children sit around
in a circle. The one who is Mon holds a piece of cloth
behind his back and runs around the circle. Other
children will chant the following verses : |
| |
"Mon Sorn Pa |
|
Tookata Yu KangLang |
|
| |
Wai None Wai Ne |
|
Shan Ja Te Kon Ter |
|
| |
"Mon
hides a cloth |
|
And a doll
behind. |
|
| |
You
put it here or there, |
|
Or I'll hit your
backside. |
|
| ........While walking,
the Mon will quietly drop that piece of cloth
behind someone. The players are forbidden to turn
back; to know that the cloth is dropped behind them
or not, they can only touch. If Mon returns and that
person still does not know, he will be beaten by Mon,
and as a result, will become Mon instead. On the
contrary, if the person know, he will pick the cloth
and beat Mon. The latter has to be Mon until he can
find a substitute. |
E-ga Fak Kai (The Hatching Crow)
| ........The child who plays
the Crow draws a circle around himself, whereas the
others put stones or round objects, which are taken as
the bird's eggs, into the circle. The Crow stoops over
the eggs, trying to protect them by swinging his legs
to-and-fro. The others must attempt to steal the eggs.
Once touched by the Crow's leg, the player becomes the
crow instead, and remains there until the eggs are all
stolen. |
