We had a bit of difficulty trying to remember exactly how the rhymes went after so many years, but between the three of us we were able to piece together the following two conte.
We all agreed that the fun was not limited to the game itself but started well before with la conta, the meaningless rhyme which children chant in order to choose who will be the one who has to look for the others in nascondino, or who will be "it" in chiapparello, and so on. A few evenings ago, while having dinner with my friends Annalisa e Claudio, the conversation moved onto the topic of the traditional games which we used to play as children such as nascondino (hide-and-seek), chiapparello (catch/tag), mosca cieca (blind man’s buff), girotondo (ring-a-ring-o’-roses), etc.
