HOW TO PLAY
1

Players pair up and stand one behind another in a single-file column, with one extra player, the catcher, standing ahead of the line facing away.

2

The catcher calls for the back pair to run, one down each side of the column, trying to reach the front and join hands again before being caught.

3

The catcher tries to tag one of the two runners before they can reunite and clasp hands at the front.

4

If the catcher tags a runner, that runner becomes the new catcher, and the previous catcher joins the untagged runner as the new front pair.

5

If neither runner is caught, they form the new front pair and the catcher tries again with the next back pair in line.
