Emperor, emperorROLL THE DICE

The game ‘Emperor, emperor’ requires the presence of multiple children, one next to the other;

Further away, on a chair, sits the emperor;

The player who gets to him first takes his place;

One after the other, the children ask flatteringly: ,, Good and handsome emperor, what is the time at your castle? ,,

Or ,, Loved and all-glorious emperor, what is the time at your castle? ,,

The children obey the command and get closer to the emperor;

The emperor’s commands:-a dwarf step;

The child puts one foot in front of the other;

The emperor’s commands:-the polenta ; the child does a spinning jump, big or small;

The emperor’s commands:-The fish ; the child jumps

The emperor’s commands:-The pan; the child doesn’t move

The emperor’s commands:-A giant step; the child makes a very big step;

The first to reach the emperor takes his place on the throne.
