HOW TO PLAY
1

The group forms a circle, and one member steps forward to recite a short poetic verse of praise or celebration.

2

The rest of the circle claps and hums along in support as the verse is spoken.

3

At the end of the verse, everyone repeats a short closing line together.

4

The next speaker steps forward with their own verse, often about a different person or event.

5

Continue until everyone who wishes to share a verse has had their turn.
