Cici Putri Game
Three or more children play the children's game Cici Putri, and they 'ngedeprok' on any floor. Both fingers are folded on the floor and spread apart. One child is the head of the game and sits in front of the participants while their index finger moves from one finger to the other while singing:
Cici putri tembako lima kati
Ma'None-Ma'None
Si Ade mau kembang ape?
(Melati) - pulang-pulang bapaknya mati.
(Kedongdong) - pulang-pulang bapaknya beli rumah gedong.
Nyi'rana - Nyi'ratu
Siapa pegang batu
Duduk di depan pintu
Dipungut mantu
Ta...em...ta...em
Dung - dung clok
Kembang gale - kembang gadung gadung
Menclok
Nenak-nenek keserandung - bongkok
Pong Pong balong
Ketimpong - timpong balong
Biji merak biji sampi
Pecah telor sebiji...! Hore...!
Cici Putri can be played both day and night and anywhere.
