HOW TO PLAY
1

Choose two players to face each other, raise their joined hands, and form an arch representing a bridge.

2

All the other players form a line and walk in a chain, one after another, passing underneath the raised arch while everyone sings the traditional rhyme together.

3

On the final word of the rhyme, the two arch players quickly lower their arms to catch whoever happens to be passing underneath at that moment.

4

The caught player is asked quietly to choose one of two secret options, such as an apple or a pear, which secretly assigns them to one of two hidden teams behind each arch player.

5

The line keeps moving through the arch and the song repeats until every player has been caught once and sorted onto a team.

6

Once everyone has a team, the two teams line up and have a friendly tug of war to see which side pulls the other across a middle line.
