Details

At School 02

The play takes place as the girls are waiting and preparing to go to class at the end of the lunch break.

They sit, along with the rest of the class on the ground and in the shade of a classroom. The girls are in a small group facing each other and perform the actions of the play while chanting the rhyme. There is clapping, defined arm/hand movements and at the end of the rhyme, the players 'freeze'. The player who does not move after this call of 'freeze' is the winner.
