	Adam had seven sons

Participants make a circle. They choose one to three participants who go into the middle of the circle. They walk around them and sing:
"Adam had seven sons"
The ones who are in the middle are thinking of the movements they will show when the song is over. When the song is over, they perform their movements. The others imitate them. The ones who are in the middle follow that the imitation is correct. The ones who are wrong in the imitation have to go into the middle of circle and the game starts from the beginning.
"Adam had seven sons, seven sons.
Who didn't eat, who didn't drink.
Who didn't know what to do.
All do like that."
