Game Instructions
A group of kids squat in a circle looking forward. One kid, the leader, walks around outside the circle holding a handkerchief or another object like a shoe. The leader sings her part of the lyrics and the group responds with their part.
At some point the leader drops the object behind one of the kids in the circle and runs around the ring. The kid behind who the object was dropped has to chase the leader. If he catches the leader before she reaches his empty space in the circle, the leader must go around again with the handkerchief. Otherwise, the 2nd kid becomes the new leader and the game starts over again.
Thanks!
