HOW TO PLAY
1

Two players stand facing each other, close enough to touch feet.

2

In time with a clapped or sung rhythm, the players first touch the inner sides of their feet together.

3

On the next beat, they touch the outer sides of their feet together.

4

On the following beats, they touch the backs of their feet together, and finally their heels.

5

Players repeat the full sequence faster and faster while staying in rhythm with the music.

6

Whoever breaks the rhythm, missteps, or loses balance first ends their turn, and another pair takes over.
