- Simple, in which six girls five of them stand in a row looking at the sixth one who was holding the ball in her hand

In one of the Games, they tie a ball at the end of their strand then extend their arms both to grab a mirror or one of the fancy sticks and turn around themselves jumping and swaying. Their collages make a circle around them singing and applaud their hands
