Diū Shǒu Juàn
(Drop the Handkerchief)
This singing game is similar to Duck, Duck, Goose. Children all sit in a circle. One child is selected to be “it” and goes around the outside of the circle holding onto a handkerchief. On the words “hòu miàn” the child drops the handkerchief and starts to run. The child whose spot the handkerchief lands on has to stand up quickly and chase after the child who is “it.” “It” is trying to get back to the spot before being tagged.
