  • Traditional song

In my house underground, omawé omawé, o tel o tel o oustiti, o tel o tel o oustiti, 1, 2, 3. (This onomatopoeic chant needs no translation except for 1,2,3).

  • At the end of the song ("3"), the player must try to steal the other player’s hand
  1. If the player’s hand is touched, he/she is eliminated.
  2. If the player manages to evade, the player on the right is eliminated.

The alphabet, to the tune of "Ah vous dire je maman", or simply recited.

CONCRETELY 

Am I concentrating or am I daydreaming and letting myself be distracted by the song? Am I cautious when approaching or withdrawing my hand? Or am I daring by playing very fast?

#responsiveness

 

Prudence is the virtue that enables the mind to discern in all circumstances what is our true good and to choose the means to achieve it.

 

Being prudent does not mean being afraid of everything, but it does mean taking care of ourselves and others. In life, we can be cautious because we need time to understand or achieve things.

 

But in this particular case, if you're too cautious, you can miss out on what you're about to experience, which requires a bit of daring and responsiveness.

 

Good advice: be daring, embark on an adventure
