The rules
How to play
1
Choose one player as 'It'.
2
They count to three, then chase the others.
3
When they tag someone they shout 'Baraf!' and that player must freeze completely still.
4
Any free player can unfreeze a frozen teammate by running over and saying 'Paani!' while touching them.
5
'It' wins by getting every player frozen at the same time.
6
Play with at least three players, the more, the better.
Keep it fair
If two players argue about whether a freeze was called, a simple rule helps: 'It' must be within arm's reach when saying 'Baraf', no long-distance calls.
