HOW TO PLAY
1

Players sit in a circle facing inward while one player, holding the scarf, walks around the outside.

2

The walker secretly drops the scarf behind one seated player without anyone noticing.

3

Seated players occasionally check behind themselves to see if the scarf has been dropped there.

4

If a player discovers the scarf behind them, they grab it and chase the walker around the circle.

5

If tagged before returning to the empty spot, the walker continues; otherwise the scarf-finder becomes the next walker.
