HOW TO PLAY
1

Players sit in a circle facing inward while one player, holding an old slipper, walks slowly around the outside.

2

Everyone chants a rhyme together as the slipper carrier circles behind the seated players.

3

The carrier secretly drops the slipper behind a chosen player without being noticed and keeps walking casually.

4

Seated players periodically glance behind themselves to check whether the slipper has landed there.

5

Whoever spots the slipper grabs it and chases the carrier around the circle, trying to tag them before they reach the empty seat.
