HOW TO PLAY
1

Players stand facing a chosen leader in a loose circle or line.

2

The leader chants the sailor verse while performing an action, such as saluting or rowing.

3

Everyone copies the leader's motion and repeats the chant back together.

4

Each round the leader adds a new motion, building a longer sequence to remember.

5

Anyone who forgets a motion or breaks the sequence is teased good-naturedly.

6

Start the chant over from the beginning to practice the whole sequence again.
