HOW TO PLAY
1

Two players face each other, join raised hands to form an arch, and each secretly agrees to represent one of two hidden tokens without telling the group which is which.

2

The rest of the players form a line, holding shoulders or waists, and parade underneath the arch while singing a traditional verse.

3

On the final word of the song the arch drops its arms, trapping whichever player happens to be passing underneath at that moment.

4

The trapped player is asked, out of earshot of the group, to quietly pick one of the two hidden tokens without knowing what it stands for.

5

The chosen token reveals which of the two arch-players' team the trapped player joins, and once everyone has been sorted the two teams face off in a friendly tug of war.
