the ring game
Explanation:
Nu e tocmai acelaşi lucru, dar foarte aproape, probabil că va trebui să precizezi într-o notă de subsol cum se joacă:

ÎNVÂRTECÚŞ, (2) învârtecuşuri, s.n. 1. (În sintagma) Ineluş-învârtecuş = numele unui joc de copii în care unul dintre jucători trebuie să ghicească la cine se găseşte un inel care trece din mână în mână.

Ring Game

Pass the ring on the string and the "it" person tries to guess who's got the ring.
Object of the Game: Catch the person with the ring. Now they're "it".
Items Needed: 1 piece of string or yarn about 8-12 feet long. 1 ring, any kind.
Preparation: Slide the ring onto the string. Tie the string's ends to create a giant, circular loop. The ring should freely slide along the string.

Directions: Pick one person to be "it" and have them stand in the center of the string. Everyone else makes a circle around the person, and takes a hold of the string with each hand, holding the string in the air. The "it" person closes their eyes while they count to 10. The others pass the ring along the string, hiding it in their hands, and the "it" person, after counting, opens their eyes and tries to guess who has the ring. When the person's back is turned the ring can be quickly passed from person to person, either left or right. When the ring is correct discovered the person who had it is now "it".
