  -> Yo he participado en cakewalks, en el colegio de mi hijo. Ponen sillas como para jugar a "musical chairs", tocan la música y cuando para todos se sientan y alguien se queda sin silla, que eliminan. El que gana escoge un pastel de una mesa donde hay mucho
agree  marybro: concurso de pasteles (cakewalk) Yes, many school carnivals...a favorite activity with numbers taped to the floor, participants walk the circle, when the music stops, a number is drawn and winner chooses a cake
