The rules
How to play
1
Players sit in a circle.
2
The caller walks around tapping heads.
3
They whisper either 'lulu' (owl), that player must sit still and silent, or 'moa' (chicken), that player must immediately crow, jump up, and run.
4
The caller runs too; whoever sits down in the vacated spot first is safe.
5
The person left standing is the next caller.
Keep it fair
Players sitting as 'owls' must stay completely silent and still, any movement or noise means they forfeit their spot if a chase happens.
