Openti Bioscope

Sing Along Play Game


Played mainly by girls, the game calls for two payers to face each other and form an arc with their hands as the others pass under it forming queue line holding shoulder of the preceding one and reciting the nonsense rhyme -

"Openti bioscope
 nine ten teiscop
 sultana bibiana
 shaheb babur boithok khana
 raj barite jete
 pan supari khete
 paner agay morich bata
 is-springer chabi aata
 jar nam Renu Mala
 tare debo muktar mala"

When the rhyme ends the girl under the arc is caught to left aside and the others rejoice.
