Section titled “Translated text”A rural children’s game from Ropczyce County (Lesser Poland); application as in 66. The children form a line, with each, except the first, gripping the shoulders or hips of the one in front. (This formation is called a ‘key’.) Through various twists of this key, the first player attempts to catch the last. When this happens, others are chosen for these positions. In the Łomża region, a similar game is called ‘Ducem.’ The leader, holding a switch, taps the children who fall during sudden movements.
