etnografie
Cu toate că am constatat o mare răspândire a jocurilor de priveghi pe Mureşul Superior, sunt totuşi localităţi unde acestea rar se mai cunosc. Stadiul actual al cercetărilor nu ne permite o explicaţie a cauzelor inexistenţei acestora. Cum biserica a dus o luptă continuă împotriva acestor obiceiuri, credem că o cercetare atentă de viitor în arhive ne-ar putea lămurii o serie de probleme şi aspecte ale unor realităţi dispărute eventual din conştiinţa oamenilor.
„Ursul de vândut”
Îmbrăcat în piele de urs, cojoc întors pe dos, sau paie, ursul se vinde la fel ca vaca sau calul (Bilbor, Capu Corbului, Corbu de Jos, Valea Topliţei, Hodoşa, Sărmaş, Subcetate, Stânceni, , Căcuci Şerbeni, Sâmihaiu de Pădure, Habic, localităţile din jurul Sighetului).
„Capra de vândut”
Se desfăşoară ca vânzarea la celelalte animale, un om este acoperit cu un cearşaf, pe o bâtă se improvizează clonţul şi coarnele (Hodoşa, Sărmaş, Stânceni).

wake games
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.

Wake play
the ceremonies and pastimes connected with a wake.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Wake play
"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."
