Leap-Frog “Birdir Bir” (Uzuneşek): This game is played with at least 4 players. First of all two persons among players are elected as “it”. Those elected players stand back to back, hold their knees bending, placing their buttocks one another. Other players jump with parted legs over them one by one. If they fell at the time of jumping they become “it”.

While children jump they say “it is one one, two two , three three, four four..” and continue to jump. The last one however takes his place beside the “it” players after jumping, and then he bents.

While jumping over the “it” sometimes joking actions are made in counting some numbers. For example the seventh player says “my seven is seven, what I eat is kick”, and the “it” is kicked by other players. While the eighth player jumps he says “my eight is hop”, and stands on one foot. Players who will jump after him have to stand on their one foot. The eighth player has the right to cause others who jump after him walk as he wishes. While the ninth player jumps he says “my nine is stop” and immediately after uttering this phrase the other hopping players must stop without moving wherever they are. When the tenth player jumps he says “ my ten is sickle, guns of Fatih”, and then starts blowing “its” backs with his fist.

The game goes on similarly after determining a new “it”.
