Adamın Gözü - The Man’s Eye

This game is played by schoolboys and girls. One of them draws a face on the blackboard. Then the children put on a blindfold and try to find the man’s eye with the chalk. Whoever guesses wrong is made to sing a song, do an imitation, etc. -Şanlıurfa

Atlama - Jumping Game

The children choose a captain. The captain draws a straight line, and stands beside it to watch the jumps. The children then stand with their feet planted behind this line and jump, and wherever he or she comes down, a line is drawn. The winner is the one who has jumped the farthest.

Bahse tutuşmak - Making bets

Children lock fingers and make a bet on any subject, clinching it by saying the words below.

I swear, so help me,

Whoever breaks the bet, let him go blind

They then say “çek kopsun” (pull, let it break) and separate their fingers. Whoever wins the bet gets whatever reward was agreed upon in the bet. -Zile, Tokat
