Ence-Pence, W Której Ręce?
In Poland, we play a special game of hide and seek.
Auntie gets her hands ready, and Maja cannot peek!
One hand has a toy. Which one could it be?
Auntie holds her hands out closed for Maja to see.
“Ence-pence, w której ręce?” Auntie asks which hand is full.
Maja opens one to find a tiny sheep made out of wool!
Auntie gets her hands ready, and Maja cannot peek!
One hand has a toy. Which one could it be?
Auntie holds her hands out closed for Maja to see.
“Ence-pence, w której ręce?” Auntie asks which hand is full.
Maja opens one to find a tiny sheep made out of wool!
Please note: “Maja” in Polish is pronounced “Maya.”
