A rural girls’ game from Mazovia and Greater Poland, suitable for secondary girls’ schools. The girls form a circle, holding hands; one stands in the center of the circle. All move in a circle. Then the one in the center places a handkerchief in front of one of her companions; both kneel on it and kiss (in the air!). Finally, they switch places, and the game continues.
