How to play

1

Draw a large circle in the dirt.

2

Place small stones or pebbles in a cluster at the center as 'eggs.'

3

One player is the Crow and stands inside guarding the eggs.

4

All other players stand outside the circle.

5

They take turns or all together try to dart inside, snatch one egg, and escape without being touched by the Crow's outstretched arms. A tagged player gives back the egg and sits out.

6

The game ends when all eggs are stolen or every player is out.

Keep it fair

The Crow cannot step outside the circle, if they do, any tagged players are immediately freed. This rule resolves most disputes instantly.
