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 :) Enviado desde el iPhone de Caleb Zilmer > El 23/09/2013, a las 22:41, Kate Kuravackal <donakuravackal@xxxxxxxxx> > escribió: > > My students came up with one that we called the hug - almost - jellyfish. > They came towards each other like they were going to hug and then waved their > arms out and walked away backwards.
