Romanian traditional game
Emperor, emperorROLL THE DICE
The game ‘Emperor, emperor’ requires the presence of multiple children, one next to the other;
Further away, on a chair, sits the emperor;
The player who gets to him first takes his place;
One after the other, the children ask flatteringly: ,, Good and handsome emperor, what is the time at your castle? ,,
Or ,, Loved and all-glorious emperor, what is the time at your castle? ,,
The children obey the command and get closer to the emperor;
The emperor’s commands:-a dwarf step;
The child puts one foot in front of the other;
The emperor’s commands:-the polenta ; the child does a spinning jump, big or small;
The emperor’s commands:-The fish ; the child jumps
The emperor’s commands:-The pan; the child doesn’t move
The emperor’s commands:-A giant step; the child makes a very big step;
The first to reach the emperor takes his place on the throne.
