HOW TO PLAY
1

One player is chosen as the ñandu and stands in the center of an open space.

2

Everyone else spreads out around the edges of the play area.

3

On the signal, the ñandu chases the others using long, exaggerated running strides, arms tucked like wings.

4

Any player tagged joins the ñandu, linking arms to form a growing running line.

5

The game continues until only one player remains untagged, who becomes the next ñandu.
