Mexican Children's Games: Burro de Ombligo


Figure 1.-- Here we see boys plying Burro de Ombligo in 1921. That does no make sence to us. Ombligo de Burro which would mean he nelly button of the burro. Looking at the game, we have no iea why it acquire that name. We are guessing that the boy eberyone is jumpig over is the burro. It looks to us s some kind of leap frog game. We do not know if this is just the beginning and more boys will position themselves to get leaped over. Or if every one is going to leap over the same boy. Many boys game or cometitive, this one seems more like just playing for fun.
