bumpity bump bump - оказывается, это игра такая:

Bumpity, Bump, Bump, Bump. This is a neat name game. Again in a circle. One person in the middle. They point to one on the outside and try to say Bumpity, Bump, Bump, Bump before that person has a chance to say their own first name. If they succeed, then they switch places. If the person on the outside says their own name first before the middle person says Bumpity, Bump, Bump, Bump then the middle person stays in the middle and tries again with someone else. After a few times, you can mix it up a bit. Then the middle person would say a direction followed by Bumpity, Bump, Bump, Bump. Example: Middle person: "Left Bumpity, Bump, Bump, Bump." Circle person says the name of the person to their left. It is still a race to say it first, but more challenging. The middle person can name a direction, such as left or right OR they may say "me" or "you." Then the circle person must give the middle person's name or their own, respectively.

Sounds like the fun game counting upwards and avoiding saying any number that can be divided by 7 lest you gotta remove one piece of clothing, hehe. But I guess we grew up in different interest groups :)

Anyway, thanks for your response. So far I am inclined to translated this freely, based on context, with no reference to pushing in the Russian translation.
