The rest of the children must guess who he is portraying and join the game, beginning to depict some other action inherent in the work of the cook (cutting vegetables, peeling potatoes, rubbing carrots, pouring soup on plates, etc.).

The presenter all this time carefully watches the actions of other players and tries to understand whether their movements fall under the actions of the hero he intended. If so, he invites the player into the circle. They begin to move together, and already both look out among the players who can be invited to the circle.

The game ends when all players are in a circle.

Then the participants exchange their sheets (if there are more than two participants - clockwise) and each in the new sheet continues to draw his conceived creature - torso with hands.
Again, the leaf is bent and transmitted in a circle. Participants finish their legs.
Then in turn open all the sheets. In the end, you get very extraordinary creatures.
