Jamaican hand games

As a child I was fascinated by the girls playing hand games, and I always wanted to participate, but never knew the lyrics or what to do.

Here is video that I found that has a few of them mentioned.



I took it serious I went to girl friend of mine and asked her to teach me back hand. Till this day, that is the only one I can do, so hats off to these girls for knowing the lyrics and moves to all these games.

Do you know any that is not mentioned here?

Someone mentioned this and I thought I would just include the video.
