HOW TO PLAY
1

One player sings a fast rhythmic puirt à beul tune using nonsense syllables instead of instruments.

2

The rest of the group dances in time to the singer's rhythm, following any called-out steps.

3

The singer speeds up gradually, and dancers must keep pace without losing the beat.

4

Any dancer who falls out of step, or a singer who stumbles over the syllables, passes the singing role to someone else.

5

The game continues with a new singer each round until everyone has had a turn.
