HOW TO PLAY
1

Players stand in a circle and extend one closed fist toward the middle.

2

One player chants a short counting rhyme, tapping a fist on each beat.

3

The fist tapped on the final word of the rhyme is removed from the circle.

4

The chant repeats, eliminating one fist at a time, until only one player's fist remains.

5

That last remaining player is declared the winner and may lead the next round's chant.
