To Ask Chicken Game
My name is Lira. I am from ancient country Kyrgyzstan, which located in central Asia. I choose this project, because I would like to tell you about one loveliest folk game "took suramay" in English "To Ask Chicken". Now I will describe how to play this game.

This game can play children in 10-15 ages. They have to divide to two teams and seat opposite each other. Teams have to choose their captains. Every captain gives names to every member of his team. For example: "gold ring", "red rouse", "beauty" and so on. At the beginning captain of one team come to second captain and say: I come to ask some chicken. Second answers: My chickens are walking. First: Kysh-kysh I have brought them. F: Then take. So, the second captain comes and closes eyes of one boy or girl (they are chickens) and calls one member of his team with name that he gave before. This member comes and snaps him to forehead. After he goes back to his place. When captain opens eyes the chicken must guess boy or girl who snapped him. If he guess him he bring this chicken to his team. If he can't he must stay in that team. After, second captain does like first and if he can't he must stay in other team too. So, this action is repeated again and again.

One team certainly will be winner. This game is funny but very interesting.

Gardener
One of the Kyrgyz children folk games is GARDENER. This game plays in level place. The players sit in circle.

Leader gives the names of the flowers, plants or fruits to everyone, for example; rose, apple etc. Here leader is GARDENER. At the beginning GARDENER says; "When I was walking in my garden I saw the rose". Rose quickly says "Oh!" like frightened. Then the leader asks quickly; "What happened to you Rose?" Rose answers; "I'm fall in love to Lemon". Then Lemon quickly says "Oh!?". If the player can't answer quickly or if she/he will say other name or the name of the player who has gone out of the game is has to go out from the game and give something like pen, pencil or calculator to GARDENER. 

The game goes in this way. At the end of the game there will be only one she/he will won.
GARDENER will show to the winner the things that gave the players and the winner will give them order.
