    Our folklore game - "Magpie" /Beata/

    "Magpie"
    Magpie cooked gruel.    /we pretend stirring on a children palm/
    She gave it to the firsts baby on a spoon   /we bend subsequent

                                                                           children fingers/
    She gave it to the second baby on a bowl
    She gave it to the third baby to a pot
    She gave it to the fourth baby to a pinny
    And she gave nothing to the last one-
    She flew away and hid there.   /we tickle chidren under the pit/

    Pepiko Mexico game /Aleksandra /

    Pepico, Pepico, when are we going to Mexico?

    Our folklore song we learned from one grandmother /Olga/

    Each hand has its fingers,

    when it squeezes it is a palm
    bam bam bam bam bam

    this is a easy song 

    Two hands played
    who will be faster
    who will sooner

    bam bam bam bam bam

    this is a easy song
