Copper stump ( bashk. Bakyr bukan ) - Bashkir folk game .
Game Rules
Playing children in two people are arranged in a circle. Children depicting copper stumps are sitting on their chairs. The master children are behind them. The driver-buyer moves in an arbitrary Bashkir folk tune in a circle, looks at the children sitting on the chairs, as if choosing a "copper stump" for themselves. With the end of the music, he stops near a couple of children and asks the "owner":
I want to ask you
Can I buy your stump?
The owner replies:
If you are a daredevil,
That copper stump will be yours!
After these words, the “owner” and “buyer” go out of the circle, stand behind their chosen back to each other and the words: “One, two, three - run” - scatter in different directions. The one who reaches the first stands behind the copper stump.
Children run only at the signal, the winner becomes the master of the "stump" and the game continues.
