Ukraina: ”Cat and mice”

Ukrainian games for kids playing outdoors

Children stay in a line, holding each other's waist. The first one is a "Cat", followed by all the "mice”

"Cat" asks:

- Are there a lot of mice in the line?

- Sixty! (but in Ukrainian it sounds kopa)

- Are they afraid of cat?

- No.

- But Cat turns and catch the mouse!

- To hell with him!

 

After the last phrase "cat" starts to run trying to catch the latest "mouse". When the "cat" catches "mouse", it takes the second place in a line after the “cat”.
