there is also a brazilian version of the american paper football, in which players attempt to flick a coin through an agreed-upon goal on a flat surface. unlike the american version, brazilians may use a popsicle stick to control the 'ball' when playing jogo do prego.

action games are familiar to children of all ages, and are known simply as 'tag'. variations of tag are countless, and ever mutating, but crianças cariocas are frequently observed playing versions of freeze-tag, team-tag and silent-tag. 

there are versions of the blind man's bluff, in which a player is rotated around a circle of onlookers, trying to guess who it is that he faces in the moment.
