Die Kinder tanzen Hand in Hand im Kreis.
Ein Kind tanzt gegenläufig außerhalb vom Kreis.
Nach den Worten "catch a ..."
öffnen die Kinder an der Stelle,
an der sich das einzelne Kind gerade befindet,
den Kreis.
Das linke Kind reicht dem "Gefangenen" seine Hand,
das rechte Kind wird zum neuen "Tier" und
verlässt bei "let him go" den Kreis und tanzt außen weiter.
Der Kreis wird wieder geschlossen.
