HOW TO PLAY
1
Form a circle and choose one player to start a short call-and-response chant.
2
The leader sings or speaks a simple line, and the rest of the circle answers with a matching response line.
3
Add a stamping footstep or clap on the response to keep everyone in time together.
4
After a few rounds, the leader passes their role to the next person in the circle by pointing to them.
5
Continue rotating leaders, with each new leader introducing a slightly different call, until the circle decides to close the chant together.
