MATERIALS
- A handkerchief or small cloth
HOW TO PLAY
1
Players sit in a circle facing inward while one player, the runner, walks around the outside holding the handkerchief.
2
The runner secretly drops the handkerchief behind a seated player without anyone noticing, then keeps walking as if nothing happened.
3
Seated players occasionally reach behind themselves to check if the handkerchief has landed there.
4
If a player discovers the handkerchief behind them, they jump up and chase the runner around the circle, trying to tag them before they reach the empty spot.
5
If caught, the runner keeps their role; if not, the chaser becomes the new runner for the next round.
