Kagome Kagome
"Kagome Kagome" is a Japanese children's game and the song (warabe uta) that goes with it. One player is chosen as the Oni, a word that means a demon or ogre but here plays the part of "it" in tag, and sits blindfolded or with eyes covered. The other children join hands and walk in a circle around the Oni while they sing. When the song stops, the Oni tries to name the child standing directly behind.
