HOW TO PLAY
1

Two players face each other, join raised hands, and form an arch representing the fisherman's net.

2

The rest of the group forms a line and chants a call-and-response verse as they file underneath the arch.

3

On the final word of the verse, the two arch players lower their arms and trap whoever is passing through.

4

The trapped player quietly picks one of two secret options offered by the arch players, such as two fruits or colors.

5

Based on their pick, the trapped player lines up behind one of the two arch players to form a team.

6

Once everyone has been caught and sorted into a team, the two teams have a short tug-of-war to finish the game.
