Game Instructions
The children sit in a circle except for the one who's "It". The person who is "It" goes around tapping each child's head saying "Pato" (Duck). Eventually, the one who's "It" taps a kid's head and says, "Ñato" (Small). The one who was tapped has to chase the one who's "It" around the circle. The one who's "It" has to go around the circle and finally sit in the 2nd kid's spot. The 2nd kid is now "It". If the 2nd kid catches the one who's "It" before they get to the spot, the first "It" goes to the middle of the circle and the others sing to him the 2nd part of the lyrics above.
