    Saloom Baloom game is considered one of  the popular

    traditional games for girls only. It is played by five girls
    or more. Girls are sitting down and stretching their
    legs forward. The oldest one is counting on each leg

    and singing this song. The words are: “Saloom Baloom,

    Areeq Althoom, Wahid  Mushashe, Wahid  Lathoom,
    Jatni  Ghaneemah  tusabih  bi, jaha  Jamalha  belao’o,
    Turqit Khadhamdhem wa tezooah, Helilaha Najelah,

    Jalalha Abdulmalik,  wa shorha ,wa ya noorha, wa

    albent almamoor, ho ya khalti wa ya Amti, dhfi hathi,
    wa rakhi hathi, wa almisk wa alnber kulla fi hathi”.
    As such, she repeats the song again and again until

    she finishes all the legs of girls and one girl remains.
