List of playground games in Kwitzka

This article is a list of playground/schoolyard games played in Kwitzka. It aims to document as many as possible, as well as any regional variations.
== Outdoor games ==
Qhövany - Hide and seek
Swärjeflaqän - Capture the flag
Xhön - Tag
Rödsën - Team 1 hides an object, team 2 has to find said object, and can get hints by tagging members of team 1.
Búrkän - 1 place (usually a tree) is decided as the place where the game starts. 1 player is a seeker and has the goal to tag the other players by touching the place (tree) and saying their location. The other players have the goal of touching the place (tree) before the seeker can tag them, which frees them and they have won the game. The seeker can only win by tagging everyone.
Lävnyj twör - Played on a hill with ice, 1 person is at the bottom of the hill trying to crawl up and pull down the other players, who are at the top, who become the person at the bottom of the hill. This game is specific to the Teluto-Suvälki area.
Kïng - Played in the Zäqopanë area, however not in Zäqopanë itself. Kïng is a ball game where the ball is bounced between 4 squares, and if a player violates the rules of the game they get kicked out of the game and if there are less than 4 players they get kicked down to the lowest tier of square, and if there are more than 4 players they enter a queue to join the game. The player in the highest ranked square always starts the game.
== Indoor games ==
Úmongamëli - Before the game begins, 2 walls are built, one on each team's side. After this each team decides a "president" who has the ability to revive tagged players. The game begins by placing balls on the center line and then each team has a certain amount of time (usually 1 minute) to get as many as possible. After this each team can throw balls at the other team to tag them. The game ends when a president is tagged, the team who tagged the other team's president wins. This game could also be played outdoors (and is very similar to a snowball war with walls, except with tagging), but is usually played indoors.
Murärz - a line is agreed (usually by placing a carpet on the floor) where the taggers can tag others, the taggers cannot leave this area. The non-taggers are then divided into teams. The teams then run (1 person/team) across this line to get something across. They then have to return across the line with the things. If a player is tagged, they throw back the thing to the side where they are at the beginning, and move to the back of the team's queue. The team that has brought the most things across wins.
Pëntagön spöqbäl (Pentagonal spöqbäl) - A pentagonal court is used, formed with fences or benches at the edges. The players then have the goal of hitting the other players (as in regular spöqbäl, players can defend themselves using only their hands). Unlike in regular spöqbäl, you cannot hold the ball with your hands. If the ball leaves the court, the person the ball hit last is kicked out. Pentagonal spöqbäl does not have teams.
== Variations ==
Búrkän - In some places, a hider can untag every tagged person by running up to the tree and staying there for a standardized amount of time (this time is usually standardized based on the school, but varies from place to place)
Pëntagön spöqbäl - There is also a version played with feet instead of hands. This variant is poorly documented, but the game is called "Pëntagönbäl" in the areas where this is played, to avoid confusion with spöqbäl since they are less similar.
