HOW TO PLAY
1

Sit or stand in a loose group as one player begins a rhythmic chant meant to set a steady walking pace.

2

The rest of the group answers with a repeated response line after each chanted verse.

3

Keep the tempo steady, matching claps or steps to the beat of the call and response.

4

The lead chanter may improvise new verses about the day's events or the people present, and everyone still answers with the same response line.

5

The chant continues until the leader signals a close with a final drawn-out line.
