 Cublak-Cublak Suweng

The game is played by some child / person, but at least three people. However, better between 6 to eight people. The aim of the game is Pak Empo find earrings (suweng) hidden person.

At the start of games or a few people gathered and raffle / specify any one of them to become Pak Empo. Usually drawn through pingsut / encon / sweepstakes usual. Once there is a role as Pak Empo. So they all sit in a circle. While Pak Empo lying face down in their midst. Each man put his palms facing upwards on the back Pak Empo.
 

One of them took the pebbles or the object (this object is considered as an earring). Then they all sing together cublak-cublak suweng, rolling stones from the palm of the hand that one to the other. so continue until the song is sung several times (usually 2-3 times).

Having reached the last stanza ... 'Sir-sir pong dele kopong' Pak Empo get up and other players pretend to hold the gravel. Right hand and left them holding something like a tightly sealed. This is to outwit the Pak Empo who are looking for his "suweng". Each player held up her finger and rub-grit right and left index finger (movement) just like the slice of chili. They're all still singing the Sir-sir pong dele gosong repeatedly until the Pak Empo appoint one of which is considered hiding earrings.

When the Pak Empo one pointing the game starts all over again (Pak Empo lying down). And when the Pak Empo managed to find people who hide earrings then these people become pack Empo switch roles. The game is finished when they agreed to resolve it.
