PLAYED FOR YOU

Schweine Schwarte

Fliiiiiiiiiieg!

The ever hungry little piglet starts moving about: All players stand or sit down forming a circle. The youngest player starts the game and presses the tummy of the little piglet, which immediately starts to play some music. Now this player throws the piglet to another player; the player at whom the piglet is thrown should not be a neighbor of the thrower but a randomly chosen player within the circle. If you hold the piglet when the music stops has lost the current round of the game. This player must quit the game. The now youngest player again presses the tummy of the piglet to start a new round  and throws the musical piglet at another player of his choice. The last player left in the game wins the game.

This is one of the most often varied and favored game mechanisms and is in this version featuring the famous piglet from Pop the Pig; the hungry piglet has been a huge success when it was gobbling up hamburgers and also cuts a nice and fun figure in this variation of Pass the Bomb for toddlers.

Of course you can try to throw the piglet in a somewhat nasty way so that the player at whom it is thrown has some trouble catching it; this is a trick that older children glean on to rather quickly, but then of course there is the danger that the pig is immediately returned to the previous thrower in the same nasty way and he might be the one holding it when the music stops. You can let the thrower pick up the pig when it touches the floor, this avoids too raucous throwing of the pig, and you can also say that the thrower holds it in case the music stops while the pig is in mid-air.
