Sau, într-un sens colectiv, "wake play" dar în contextul tău cred că mai bine foloseşti "wake games" fiindcă se enumerează exemple ale acestor jocuri în mod separat.

There were almost two hundred recorded **wake games**, with names like The Burning Toothache, Kissing the Goat and the Red Thief of the Horses. The church intervened at intervals and many pronouncements were made banning all unchristian-like activities at wakes. In 1927, the Synod of Maynooth “forbade absolutely” all such activities and any unseemly practices where a corpse was present.

"The *Wake Games* of Ireland (...)

Pulling the Stick- Sweet Draughts

Two man sat facing each other on the floor. Legs were extended so that the soles of their shoes touched. A strong stick - a handle of a spade or pitchfork - was laid across the tops of their shoes. Both gripped the stick, one hand inside and one outside and each tried while holding his legs rigid to lift his opponent off the floor even as much as an inch. After three pulls places were exchanged and the test continued similarly. Sometimes a man who was to be lifted off the floor would make his foot slip from the opponent's shoe. Friends would stand on the coat tails of the person they did not wish lifted."
