MATERIALS
- A small object to pass, such as a stone, folded cloth, or short stick
HOW TO PLAY
1
Players sit or stand in a circle and begin passing the "little candle" quickly from hand to hand.
2
One player who is not part of the circle claps a beat, sings a verse, or plays a simple rhythm.
3
When the rhythm stops without warning, whoever is holding the object is out or must perform a silly forfeit.
4
Remaining players tighten the circle and resume passing at a slightly faster pace.
5
Repeat the stop-and-check pattern, eliminating one holder each round.
6
The last player left in the circle wins and can lead the rhythm for the next game.
