The players of the opposing team jump one by one over the end of the barrier trying to get as far forward as possible, and have to sit in the place where they fall; Can be helped by pushing with their hands. If they fail to get all the players on the barrier of opposites, they lose and stop. Once everyone has jumped, the first one who has done it says churro, mediamanga, mangotero, guess what comes first! Or other similar formulas (churro, manga, mediamanga, mangotero, guess what I have in the puchero!), And he goes to support his hand in his hand (churro), his wrist (manga), his elbow (mediamanga) or your shoulder (mangotero). If the team that guesses where it has the hand, the roles of the teams are reversed. Logically the first player of the barrier (the mother), who sees what happens, cannot speak. If you do not guess or the player barrier collapses prematurely, the roles of the two teams are maintained. And so on.
