Explanation:
Eu nao sabia a traducao desta expressao e vim somente para aprender.

No entanto, parece que os outros tampouco sabem. Sinto, mas estao todos enganados, pensando que eh "Jack-in-the-box' ou coisa que o valhe e, portanto, um tipo de boneca.

Nao eh.

Eh um exercicio fisico onde se pula no ar e bate as maos em cima da cabeca, abrindo e fechando as pernas alternativamente.

Se pensar numa expressao portuguesa para isso, favor de me avisar.

Grato.

I just noticed that Silvio gave this as an alternative definition under \"sports\". He is correct in the second case.

João Bobo


Explanation:
Conheço também como aquele boneco que por mais que a criança derrube sempre volta a ficar de pé. No Brasil é o João Bobo. Mas seu contexto vai lhe mostrar qual das duas sugestões é a mais adequada.

Polichinelo


Explanation:
De acordo com o American Heritage Dist:
jumping jack
n.
A toy figure with jointed limbs that can be made to dance by pulling an attached string.
Neste caso, a tradução seria marionete.

Sports. A physical exercise performed by jumping to a position with the legs spread wide and the hands touching overhead and then returning to a position with the feet together and the arms at the sides.
Se for esta a brincadeira de criança, é um exercício chamado polichinelo.

O boneco que pula da caixa é o jack-in-the-box.

  -> Thanks. As I said above, I saw belatedly that Silvio's answer above was correct. I thought "polichinelo" was another type of doll!.

Polichinelo


Explanation:
Se você notar, vai ver que a minha sugestão de tradução é polichinelo, que é o nome em português do exercício físico ou brincadeira em questão.
Então, não precisa procurar o termo em português, ok?
Já encontrou!

Quanto a dar pontos para uma resposta que não tinha a resposta, em detrimento de uma que tinha, isso acontece nas melhores famílias.:)
