First you need to pick a person who is going to say day or night. When he says day, everyone has to stand up, but when he says night, everyone has to sit down. It may look easy at first, but the person who is saying day/night can trick them. He can say day/night multiple tymes or really fast. The game finishes when only one person is left.

How to play the Maltese Traditional Game – Iż-Żunżana ddur iddur (Indoor Game)

# data[].attributes.body
The grown-up or class instructor will instruct the students/children to gather in a circle on the floor. The adult/teacher selects a child/student to move around the circle, pretending to be a bee (żunżana) and starting to circulate clockwise among the seated children/students. As the seated children/students sing the song 'Iż-Żunżana ddur iddur' (refer to the attached chant), when they reach the word 'Żann,' the child who was circulating clockwise should gently touch another child/student on the head or shoulder. The touched child then stands up and chases the first child who was circulating. If the initial child is caught, they lose the game and must resume circulating. If not, they are allowed to be seated and the player who caught them would assume their role.

The translation of the Maltese chant "Iż-Żunżana ddur iddur, fuq il-Bejt tal-kaċċatur, meta tasal taħt il-mina, tagħmel żinn, żunn, żann" to English is as follows:

"The bee goes around, on the hunter's roof, when it reaches under the mine, it makes a move, buzzes, goes."

1. The players tuck their shirts into their pants.

2. They lie with their stomachs on the floor, heads towards the center and form a circle.

3. They then attach themselves to the arms of their two neighbors so that the connection is as stable as possible. The arms must be stretched out. Those children are the carrots, that are stuck in the ground.

4. A start player is chosen. This child is the "gardener" who tries to harvest the carrots. They can now choose a carrot and try to pull it out of the ground. To do this, they grab it by the legs and tug and shake it, until the vegetable has come out of the ground.

5. The harvested carrot becomes the new gardener. The remaining carrots, on the other hand, close the circle and try to make the rest of the harvest as difficult as possible.

6. Last carrot is the winner.

7. Have fun!

The rules:

At the beginning one player is designated as the Blind Granny and he/she is blindfolded.

The Blind Granny stands in the middle and other players are turning her around her axis so the Granny would lose her concentration of space. During that process, they sing a song: "Vodim baku na pazar, da je prodam za dinar, idi bako kuda znaš, meni više ne trebaš" (translation of the song would be: "I'm taking granny to the market to sell her for one dinar. Go granny where you want, I don't need you anymore.")

The rule is to find the other players without taking off the blindfold. Other players try to avoid the Granny and they can also tease her to make her change direction.

When the Granny catches some player, she tries to guess who she caught by touching the hair, face or clothes. If she guesses right, then the player that is caught becomes the Blind Granny. If she guesses wrong, the game should be repeated without changing the position of the players. Game cycles can be repeated as long as the players are interested.

We hope you'll enjoy the game and have fun!

This game is often used as a warm up exercise in PE classes. Before you start, the students need to know six different actions that are London bus, Wanderer, Bench, Toaster, Wheelbarrow and Bunk bed. Play some nice music on the background and ask your students to move forward in different ways each round. They can run, gallop, go backwards, spin, crab walk and finally have their own style to move. Every time the music stops, they will grab the nearest person and do the action requested together.

Yero Vasilia (Old King)

# data[].attributes.body
How to play the "Yero Vasilia (Old King)"

1. One is the King and the rest are the Subjects, who ask for jobs from the King.

2. The Subjects decide secretly what job they want to ask from the King.

3. The Subjects stand in front of the King and say altogether the poem “Old, old King with the twelve swords, we want a job”.

4. The King replies “What kind of job?”

5. The Subjects reply “Like the one you see” and they start miming the job that they decided from before.

6. The King has three guesses.

7. If the King does not guess correctly, they stay as the King and the Subjects win (1 point each).

8. If the King guesses the job, then they run to tap the Subjects up to the gate.

9. If the King does not manage to tap the Subjects, they remain the King and tries again. The Subjects win (1 point each).

10. If the King manages to tap one of the Subjects before passing through the gate, then the Subject, who taped loses one point and becomes the next King. Only the King gets one point.

11. The kids play the game from the beginning.

The boys were extremely enthusiastic about engaging in this game, bursting into laughter as they played. It was a novel experience for all the students, and I'm confident that they'll continue playing it during their breaks.

Initially, the young students found it challenging to grasp the instructions, but once they did, they played the game proficiently and relished the experience. They eagerly requested to be chosen as the Granny and even proposed the idea of moving in an anti-clockwise direction. In Malta, we have a comparable game called "It-Tiġieġa l-Għamja" or "Blind Chicken," where a blindfolded child attempts to catch others. Once successful, the child must identify the person caught, and if correct, that person takes on the blindfold.

The boys had a blast playing the game, particularly because they all share a love for dancing. Their excitement reached new heights when they had the chance to create their own dance moves in response to the teacher's cue of "Bunkbed."

Each person aspired to take on the role of the king and take a guess at the job. Some boys were so enthusiastic that they couldn't help but provide hints to the chosen king as well.

The rules:

Children hold hands and form a circle.

They are singing a song

"Spread, spread, embroidered towels

I'm barefoot, you're barefoot, turn around (Luka).

Luka turns and we sing the song again, but we sing the name of the other child, and so on for as long as we want the game to last. When everyone has their backs to the center of the circle, we sing again and the children turn to the center. If we want to speed up the game, we sing "let's all turn around".

We listened to the song in Maltese, but it was difficult for us to learn the lyrics.

We played the game while singing a song in Serbian language:

"Ide maca oko tebe, pazi da te ne ogrebe,

čuvaj mio rep, da ne budeš slep,

ako budeš slep, otpašće ti rep."

Or English languages:

"The cat walks around you, be careful not to scratch you,

watch my tail, so you don't go blind,

if you go blind, your tail will fall off.

Children love this game.

Due to unfortunate overlapping of schedules, Finland is unable to attend the final meeting. We wanted to participate in some way or another and hence we decided to post a video of our traditional dance "Letkajenkka" which is fun and easy to learn for all ages.

When you dance "Letkajenkka", you can play this music on the background.
