A rural girls’ game from Sierpc County (Mazovia), known elsewhere only as a song or nursery rhyme; suitable for lower primary school classes (and with certain simplifications, also for kindergartens). The children form a spinning star (like the “cross” in the mazurka; see 6. Konopki, a variant from the same Sierpc County). At the appropriate lyrics of the song, they let go of hands and mimic the hen or the activities of her chicks with movements. The step is a mazurka step.


Transcription scope: musical notation and song lyrics omitted as material outside the corpus scope; exact boundaries recorded in the extraction report.
