HOW TO PLAY
1

Everyone sits or stands in a circle with one player leading the game in the middle.

2

The leader calls out the name of something followed by 'udd' (flies), like 'sparrow flies' or 'elephant flies', while raising both hands upward.

3

Players must raise their hands only if the named thing can actually fly; if it cannot fly, they should keep their hands down.

4

The leader tries to trick players by raising their hands even for things that can't fly, like a table or a dog.

5

Anyone who raises their hands for something that can't fly, or fails to raise them for something that can, is out or takes a small forfeit.

6

Continue until only a few sharp-eyed players remain.
