HOW TO PLAY
1
Split into two teams standing in facing lines an equal distance from a referee holding a handkerchief in the middle.
2
The referee secretly assigns each player on both teams a matching number.
3
The referee calls out a number, and the two players sharing that number race to the middle to grab the handkerchief.
4
Whoever grabs it must sprint back to their own line without being tagged by the other numbered player.
5
A successful grab-and-return scores a point for that team, while a safe tag before returning gives the point to the defender's side.
