HOW TO PLAY
1

Players form a line holding onto the waist or shoulders of the person in front, forming a long snake.

2

The player at the front is the snake's head and chases the very last player, who is the tail.

3

The rest of the line must sway and turn together to protect the tail from being caught.

4

If the line breaks apart while dodging, players must quickly reconnect before the chase can continue.

5

Once the tail is tagged, that player becomes the new head and a new tail is chosen to restart the chase.
