HOW TO PLAY
1

Two players face each other and raise joined hands to form an arch representing a broken bridge.

2

The remaining players line up and walk single file underneath the arch while singing a call-and-response verse.

3

On the final word of the song, the arch drops down and traps whichever player is passing underneath at that moment.

4

The trapped player quietly chooses one of two secret options offered by the archway pair, such as picking a hidden side.

5

That player then joins the team matching their choice, and the song repeats until everyone has been sorted into a team.
