Pipolo

PIPOLO

TYPE: Quiet

Play in a circle

The players are seated with the palms of their hands resting on their knees.  When the leader says "Pipolo," they all beat on their knees.  When he says "Nitzav," they put their hands upright on their knees, palms facing inwards.  When he says "Shetach" they lay their hands flat on their knees and at "Egroff," they put clenched fists on their knees.  But, the leader does not have to follow his own commands.  Anyone who does the wrong movement is out.

Variation:  Whenever the word "commander" is added, the players should ignore the command.
