HOW TO PLAY
1

Players sit or stand in a circle with one player acting as the caller in the center.

2

The caller raises a finger and calls out "Tar!" (it flew) followed by the name of an animal or object.

3

If the named thing can actually fly, every player must also raise a finger and repeat "Tar!"

4

If the named thing cannot fly, players must keep their hands down and stay silent instead.

5

Any player who raises a hand for something that cannot fly, or fails to raise it for something that can, is eliminated from that round.

6

The caller speeds up and mixes in trick answers until only one player remains, who takes over as the new caller.
