Object of the Game: To be the last person left.
Items Needed: 6 to 12 people or so.
Preparation: Make sure no one has a low-neck shirt.

Directions: Everyone gets on their hands and knees, and form a circle facing each other. Each person crosses hands with the people on either side of them, so that everyone in the circle has one hand from each neighbor between their own hands. A person is picked to start, and they pick a direction for play to begin. Play goes based on hand position, not necessarily person position. A single tap on the floor with your hand signals play to continue on to the next hand. A double-tap signals a reverse in the direction of the hands. If anyone taps out of turn or too slowly that hand is out (the person may still have a second hand in play).

Example: Eight players kneel on hands and knees and "loose huddle" in a circle facing each other. Players' right hands cross over the left hand of the player to their right while their left hands are placed under the right hand of the players on their left. Player one is chosen to go first and direction of play is clockwise. Player one chooses to tap with his right hand once, which means the hand to the left (clockwise.) of him chooses to tap once or twice. That player taps twice which means the hand in the opposite direction (counter clockwise.) chooses to tap.
