The rules

How to play

1

Players sit in a circle with one or both index fingers touching a central point (the floor, a table, or one player's fist).

2

One player is the caller.

3

They shout names of animals, objects, or things followed by 'Udd!' (fly), for example 'Parrot Udd!' or 'Elephant Udd!' Players must raise their finger only if the named thing can genuinely fly.

4

Anyone who raises their finger for something that cannot fly, or fails to raise it for something that can, is out.

5

The last player remaining wins and becomes the next caller.

Keep it fair

Edge cases (bats, flying squirrels) cause arguments, agree before starting that only birds, insects, and planes count as flyers, or let the caller be the final judge.
