The number of rounds is less than the number of children playing 3-4 rounds. Children play the role of students going to school, while walking and singing to the rhythm of the teacher. When hearing her signal saying: “It’s raining”, each child has to find a shelter from the rain to hide from getting wet (meaning run in a circle). Children who run slowly and can’t find a place to hide will get wet and have to run outside once to play. The game continued, the teacher ordered “it’s sunny”, the children went away from the circle.

”On the grass

Rabbits

Find vegetables to eat

Very happy

There are false accusations

I’m waiting

Run fast

The false accuser
