HOW TO PLAY
1
Explain that Mor Lam is a folk singing tradition built on playful call-and-response verses.
2
One player, the caller, sings or chants a short rhyming line about anything silly or topical.
3
The group must respond in unison with a matching rhythm, either echoing the line or completing the rhyme.
4
The caller role passes clockwise after each exchange, and the new caller must top the previous line.
5
Players who hesitate too long or break the rhythm lose a point.
6
Keep a running tally and crown the most inventive caller at the end.
