The traditional children's games have been part of our childhood, helping us to socialize and develop as people either at school or during free time.

One of the games that marked the childhood of thousands of people was that of 'La zapatilla por atrás'. This fun pastime combined two factors: astuteness and physical ability, which made it a very fun activity.

To the shoe from behind. Children's game

To start playing the shoe from behind, first you have to draw lots to see who gets the shoe. Once the "devil" of the game elegido has been chosen, the others should sit in a circle and shake hands. When all the participants are in, they will begin to sing the following song:'To the shoe from behind, tris-tras.

Neither see nor see, tris-tras.

Look up, that beans fall.

Look down, that chickpeas fall. A Shut up, shut up, let the devil go! '

There is a second variant of the song whose last phrase is: 'To sleep, to sleep, the Magi come!'

While the participants of the circle sing the song with their eyes closed, the 'devil' will have to leave the shoe on one's back. When they finish counting they should open their eyes to see who has the shoe and the person who has left it will have to run after the 'devil' to catch him and

hit him with the shoe

.

If the 'devil' manages to circle the circle twice without being given the shoe, the other person will have to hide the shoe and start the game again.
