MATERIALS
- A small object to hide, such as a pebble or button
HOW TO PLAY
1
One player bends over facing away while the rest sit in a circle around them, palms open and facing up.
2
The seated players pass the small object hand to hand behind the bent-over player's back while singing a traditional verse.
3
When the song ends, every seated player closes their fist as if they were holding the object, whether they have it or not.
4
The bent-over player stands, looks around, and guesses whose closed hand holds the object.
5
A correct guess sends the caught player to bend over for the next round; a wrong guess means the same player keeps guessing.
