HOW TO PLAY
1
One player, called Panas, sits blindfolded in the middle of a circle formed by the rest of the group.
2
The other players join hands and circle around Panas while chanting a traditional call-and-response rhyme.
3
At the end of the chant everyone scatters, and Panas gets up and moves through the space trying to catch someone by sound and touch alone.
4
Once Panas catches a player, they must feel the person's face, hair, or clothing and guess their name out loud.
5
If the guess is correct, the caught player becomes the new Panas; if wrong, Panas continues searching until they identify someone correctly.
