Iching Biching

Jumping game

A favourite of the girls, the game is spiced up by building blocks with hands and feet, over which players must jump over to win. Very energetic game. After jumping all four hands of the two sitting 'chor's, they spread their legs apart sitting, touching one another's feet. The players then jump criss-cross over the spread legs along with the non-sense rhyme:
"Iching biching chiching cha
  projapati ure ja."
