    Share Share Post
    The players join their hands in a circle one person runs around the ring + touches someone else on the back as she passes. Then the other runs around in the opposite direction + when the two meet they stop + shake hands three times + say "Good morning Good evening Good night". Then they run again + tries to see which can be in the gap first.
