ALI BABA AND THE FORTY THIEVES

TYPE: Moderate

Play in a circle

The first player begins by (rhythmically) saying "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves", while doing some motion (i.e. stamping feet, clapping hands - in rhythm) . Then, the second person says it while copying the first motion.  Simultaneously, the first person again says ' "Ali Baba…", while doing a second motion.  Then the third person does the first motion, the second person does the second motion, and the first person does a new motion, all saying together "Ali Baba...". Anyone who makes a mistake is out and then play continues.
