HOW TO PLAY
1

Players sit in a circle while one player, holding the small beanbag, walks slowly around the outside.

2

As they walk, everyone chants a rhyme about the beanbag going around the circle.

3

The walking player secretly drops the beanbag behind one seated player without being noticed.

4

That player must notice the beanbag, pick it up, and chase the walker around the circle before they can sit in the newly empty spot.

5

If caught, the walker takes over walking again for the next round; if not caught, the player who picked up the beanbag becomes the new walker.
