Konnamäng

Konnamäng is a traditional Estonian folk game. It is a form of tag or chase where one player, designated as the "konn" (frog), tries to catch the others. The game is typically played outdoors, often in a grassy area or a field.

The objective for the players who are not the konn is to avoid being tagged. If a player is tagged by the konn, they then become the new konn and the game continues. Sometimes, the konn has a specific way of moving, like hopping, which can add to the challenge and humor of the game.

Konnamäng is a simple game that requires no special equipment, making it easily accessible for children. It is often played during outdoor gatherings, festivals, or simply as a spontaneous activity among friends. The rules can vary slightly from region to region or even among different groups of players, but the core concept of a chase game with a "frog" remains consistent. It is a popular pastime that encourages physical activity and social interaction.
