HOW TO PLAY
1

One player stands at a wall as the caller while everyone else lines up at a starting line some distance away.

2

The caller turns to face the wall and recites the counting phrase aloud.

3

While the caller's back is turned, the other players creep forward as far as they can.

4

The caller spins around at the end of the phrase, and anyone still moving is sent back to the start.

5

Play continues until a player manages to sneak up and touch the caller without being spotted moving.

6

That player becomes the new caller for the next round.
