HOW TO PLAY
1

Two players face each other, raise their joined hands to form an arch, and quietly agree on secret roles like two fruits or colors.

2

The remaining players line up and pass one by one under the raised arms while a call-and-response chant is sung between the arch and the line.

3

At the end of the chant the arch players lower their arms to catch whichever player happens to be passing through.

4

The caught player is asked in secret which of the two hidden roles they choose, then quietly joins the side matching their pick.

5

Continue the chant and catching until every player has been sorted into one of the two sides, then the sides can have a friendly tug of war.
