    The Kokeshi play a game called "Kagome Kagome". It consists in one person sitting with their eyes closed in the middle of a ring of kokeshi while circling around him while playing a song. When the song comes to an end, the kokeshi stop and the person in the middle has to guess who's standing behind him. If he guesses correctly, the children swap places, and the game starts again, but when you guess correctly the kokeshi will explode. Otherwise, you die. :)
