The rules

How to play

1

Each player stands on one leg, wrapping their free leg across their standing knee or behind their back.

2

Hands stay clasped in front.

3

Both players hop toward each other within a circle drawn in the dirt, roughly three metres across.

4

They knock and jostle using only their body (shoulders, hips, torso).

5

The first to touch the ground with their raised foot, step outside the circle, or use their hands loses that round.

6

First to two wins.

Keep it fair

Stepping outside the circle is a loss, make the circle large enough (at least three big steps across) so a player driven to the edge has room to recover before accidentally stepping out.
