Cuando era niña, el juego favorito de mis amiguitos era "guarda-52". Se juega así: encuentra una víctima que no sepa el juego, toma una baraja de naípes, échala al aire, grita "¡guardalos!", y vete antes de que la maestra venga.

When I was little, the favorite game of my classmates was "52-pickup". Here's how you play: find a victim who doesn't know the game, take a pack of cards, throw them in the air, shout "pick them up!", and run away before the teacher comes.
