HOW TO PLAY
1

Players pair up and stand in a long line facing each other, joining raised hands with their partner to form a tunnel of arches.

2

One player without a partner starts at the back of the tunnel and walks forward underneath the raised arms.

3

While passing through, the walker takes the hand of anyone they choose from the line and leads that person back to the front of the tunnel to form a new pair.

4

The person left without a partner after being chosen away must now walk through the tunnel themselves and pick a new partner in turn.

5

The game continues in a steady rotation, with a new walker choosing a new partner each time, for as long as the group wants to keep it going.
