HOW TO PLAY
1

Draw a large circle or oval on the ground to represent the pond, with the area outside marked as dry land.

2

One player is chosen as the leech and stands inside the pond while everyone else gathers around the edge.

3

The group sings a traditional counting rhyme while walking around the pond's border, stepping in and out playfully.

4

When the rhyme ends, the leech tries to tag anyone still standing inside the pond boundary.

5

Whoever is tagged becomes the next leech, and the chant starts again for a new round.
