"The Bear is Sleeping" is one of the most beloved childhood games in Romania.
Game Rules:
The "Bear" sits in the middle of the circle, crouching down, with his eyes closed (pretending to be sleeping). The other children form a circle around him, holding hands.
The children spin around in a circle and sing the following:
"The Bear is sleeping and dreaming, / What should we feed him? Milk, honey or coffee, / Let him catch whoever he wants!")
The "Bear" suddenly wakes up, lets out a fierce growl and the first child touched by the "Bear" becomes the new bear in the next round

   Where Is My Thumb?

     This is a traditional Turkish finger play. The game is played by holding one hand up and using the other hand to gently touch each finger. It begins with the thumb. The teacher or child asks, “Where is my thumb?” Then the thumb is shown and moved while saying its name. The same action is repeated for each finger. Children follow along by moving their own fingers, repeating the words, and keeping the rhythm. The game continues until all fingers have been named and moved.

How to Play

Playing Surface: It is usually played on the ground, either on dirt, grass, or on a tarp. 

Throwing: Players throw the taba into the air and try to make it land in a favorable position. The taba has different sides, and the goal is for it to land on the side called “luck.”

If it lands on the opposite side, it is considered “culo” and the player loses.
