HOW TO PLAY
1

One team lines up four moccasins or cups in a row and secretly hides the marked object under one of them.

2

Members of the hiding team use quiet chanting or drumming to distract the guessing team.

3

A guesser from the opposing team points to or taps the moccasin they believe hides the object.

4

Correctly guessing scores a point for the guessing team; guessing wrong passes a turn or token to the hiding team.

5

Teams swap hiding and guessing roles between rounds until an agreed score is reached.
