Game Instructions

Everyone stands in a circle holding hands and singing this song. One player is the goat. The goat goes inside the circle. Another player is the leopard and goes outside the circle. The leopard goes in and out of the circle, under the children in the circle's locked hands, while chasing the goat. The goat also goes in and out of the circle while trying to avoid getting caught by the leopard.
