HOW TO PLAY
1

Players form a circle holding hands, with one player standing in the center representing the sun.

2

The circle moves around while singing the traditional verses that name the center player's role.

3

On a cued line in the song, the center player chases outward and tries to tag someone in the circle.

4

The tagged player becomes the new center player for the next round.

5

The song and circle motion restart, keeping the game moving from player to player.
