Each game is usually associated with one or two selection procedures, prior to playing, that are inevitably used.

The leaders are the ones who generally decide at what they are going to play. If the competing teams are already established, which of them starts the game has to be decided. Otherwise, the teams have to first be formed. In both cases, the selection systems are well defined and even ritualised.

The most common selection method is the one that includes reciting a formula while the participants are being selected one by one. 

Others such as “heads or tails” or “''a pies''” [walking and distance way of selecting] follow it in terms of importance and frequency. 

There are times where no choice is made and the order of participation is established according to how quickly the children ask for their turn to play. In Artziniega (A), a child says: “bagsie first”, another: “bagsie second", “bagsie third” and so on. This procedure has also been found in other locations, often before starting to skip.
