HOW TO PLAY
1
Choose one player to be "Doña Blanca," who stands inside a ring formed by the other players holding hands.
2
Choose another player to be the "jicotillo," who circles outside the ring trying to break through.
3
The ring of players walks in a circle while singing a call-and-response verse asking who will guard Doña Blanca.
4
The jicotillo tries to slip between joined hands or dash into the ring to reach Doña Blanca while the ring players work together to block the gaps.
5
If the jicotillo gets through and tags Doña Blanca, that round ends and new players are chosen for the two roles.
6
Restart the song and repeat with the newly chosen players.
