Lerräknares

Lerräknares are a type of traditional Swedish counting game, often played during the Christmas season. The game is typically played by children and involves a group of players standing in a circle. One player, known as the "lerräknare" or "counter," stands in the center of the circle. The counter begins by saying the number one, and then each player in the circle says the next number in sequence. The game continues until the counter reaches a predetermined number, usually 12 or 24. The player who is standing in the circle when the counter reaches the final number is considered the winner. The game is often accompanied by singing traditional Swedish Christmas carols, adding to the festive atmosphere. Lerräknares is a simple and enjoyable game that promotes social interaction and physical activity, making it a popular choice for family gatherings and holiday celebrations.
