Huevo podrido
The Spanish version of Drop the Handkerchief…
Huevo podrido
Rotten Egg
Juego del huevo podrido
Drop the Handkerchief Game
(Spanish)
(English)
Jugando al huevo podrido
Se lo tiran al distraído.
El distraído lo ve
Y huevo podrido es.
Playing rotten egg,
They throw it to the absent-minded one.
The absent-minded one sees it
And he's the rotten egg.
Game Instructions
The children sit in a circle except for one previously chosen. This player has a handkerchief or another object that represents the "rotten egg" and he goes around the circle. The children sing the song and at one point, the one with the "rotten egg" drops it behind another child who must then dash to catch him before he can sit in the empty place. If he succeeds to catch the first player, the latter goes and sits in the middle of the circle. In all cases, the 2nd player becomes the new "rotten egg" and the games start again.
