My right, right place

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My right, right seat (alternatively: My right, right seat is free or My right, right seat is empty ) is a game for children. It is often used as an introductory game .

course

A circle of chairs is laid out, with one chair more than participating players. The player to the left of the free chair begins and says: "My right, right seat is empty, I want the ... (name of a participant)." While the player is saying this sentence, he taps with his finger or with whole hand in the free space to the right of him. The named player then asks the start player: “What should I come as?” The start player then names an animal, which the named player has to mime while taking the place to the right of the start player. In other variants, the animal that the called party is to represent is named from the start. As a result, a place to the left of another player has become free, who in turn says: "My right, right place is empty, I want the ... (name of a participating person)." The entire course of the game is then repeated.

There are no winners or losers in this game.

Optionally, it can also be said: "My right, right seat is free, I would like the ... to come."
