2. Cireșica
Children are in a circle holding hands. They start chanting next verse
while using their palms from one to another:
,,Cireșica vinde mere, (Ciresica sells apples)
Cireșel vine și cere. (Ciresel asks for free apples)
Cireșica nu se-ndură (Ciresica doesn`t bother)
Cireșel vine și fură. (Ciresel steals the apples)
Spune tu adevărat (You tell me the truth)
Câte mere ai furat?” (How many apples did you steal?)
When the chanting stops, one of the players has to choose a number.
Using their palms, children count until the number and then gently
slap the next player. This one has to pay attention not to be touched
by the player near him. If he is touched, then he will be removed
from the game. The game ends when there is only one player left.

4. From the Pacific Ocean
The game is based on counting out rhymes in order to
eliminate the players one by one. The players chant the
next verse:
,,Din oceanul Pacific a ieșit un pește mic
Și pe coada lui scria ,,Ieși afară dumneata””.
The English translation sounds like this:
,,A fish went out from the Pacific Ocean
And on his tail was written ,,You get out””.
The game ends when there is only one player left.
