Wszystkie dzieci skamieniale (Fossilised Children)
What you need:
A ball.

How to play:
All children stand in a circle.
One child stands in the middle and throws the ball in the air.
From that point on, the other children must not move.
The child who throws the ball shouts: "All children are fossilised". When the ball hits the ground, everyone must freeze in the position they are in - as if they were fossilised. If anyone moves, they are out.
The last child left in the game takes over from the child in the middle.

Lis (The fox)
What you need:
A skipping rope - which is the fox's tail.

How to play:
All children stand in a circle not much further away than the end of the rope.
The person leading the game stands in the middle and holds one end of the rope in their hand.
The game begins when the person starts spinning around with the rope.
All the other children must try to jump over the 'fox's tail' without touching it.
At first, the rope is swung very low to the ground, but the game gets harder as the rope is swung around higher and higher.
