Tavsif


Mushuk-sichqon – ushbu harakatli o’yin besh va undan ko’proq bolalar tomonidan o’ynaladi. Bolalar doira bo’lib turadilar va markazda ishtirokchilar ichidan tanlangan bitta o’yinchi “mushuk” bo’lib stulda o’tiradi va “uxlaydi”.  Uning atrofida qolgan o’yinchilar aylanib qo’shiq aytishadi va shovqin ko’tarishadi. “Divanda mushuk uxlab yotipti, tinchlaning sichqonlar, mushukni uyg’otib yubormang! Mushukvoy uyg’onsa, bizning raqsimiz tugaydi” Shu gapdan so’ng mushuk “uyg’onadi” va sichqonlarni tutishga harakat qiladi. Kim stulga o’tirib olsa, uni tutib bo’lmaydi.

Sen men bilan mushuk-sichqon o’ynama. Mayda baliq hammavaqt kattalariga yem bo’ladi. Senlar chivinsanlar – men burgutman!”
