HOW TO PLAY
1

Pick one or more players to be taggers, calling out 'baraf' when they tag someone.

2

A tagged player must freeze in place like ice, standing with legs apart or arms out depending on the agreed pose.

3

Free runners can unfreeze a frozen player by touching them and calling out 'paani,' turning them back into water and letting them run again.

4

Taggers try to freeze runners faster than the remaining free players can thaw them out.

5

The round ends when every player is frozen at once, and a new tagger is chosen to start again.
