Instructions

Two players form a trap. They hold their hands up in the air to form an arch. The other players make a long line and start marching under the arch. As the players march they clap their hands and chant the following verse.

Lions and leopards, lions and leopards
hunting at night
Lions and leopards, lions and leopards
Catch the game

At the word "game" the trap falls and the player is caught. The first player waits until a second player is caught and they form another arch through which the rest of the players must also march. When two or more are caught they form another trap. Players must not dash through the traps to keep from being caught.
