HOW TO PLAY
1

One player is chosen as "grandmother" and stands facing a wall with their back to the others.

2

The remaining players line up at a starting distance behind grandmother.

3

While grandmother's back is turned, players creep forward as quietly as possible.

4

Grandmother may spin around at any moment; any player caught still moving must return to the start line.

5

Continue until a player manages to sneak all the way up and tap grandmother without being caught moving.

6

That player becomes the new grandmother for the next round.
