We did the varieties of "pega la papa" (fist bumps; thanks Ruth!) today. One is 
"carro" (instead of bumping, one person grabs the other's fist like a stick 
shift car). There are also "ardia" (one hand runs up the other's arm), "medusa" 
(after bumping, floats away like a jellyfish) and "puerta" (like carro, but you 
turn the fist like a doorknob). Quick, and plenty of laughs :)
