La víbora de la mar

It is a popular children's game in Mexico and Latin America, and also in Spain where it is known as "pasemisí".

Meanwhile, other participants will form the “snake” and dance and bump against them, trying to knock them off the chairs, representing all the obstacles and problems that may try to bring them down.

The lyrics of the song are such that the last of the word of each stanza can be repeated at will, and the children might decide to bring the arch down to "capture" someone.

The captured child must then queue up next to the "fruit" of his choice, thereby forming another arch through which the line must pass.

Once all children that formed the original line are divided between "melón" and "sandía", the resulting queues must compete in a game of tug of war.

Una mexicana que fruta vendía ciruela, chabacano, melón o sandía.

In this variation, single men and women are often divided, the groom and bride standing on chairs to form the arch under which everyone passes.

At the end of the game, depending on the sex of the participants, the bride throws from her chair the wedding bouquet, and the groom the garter.
