Hand in hand
Stand in a large circle
The mouse will run through the hole
The cat will run after it
The mouse tries to run as fast as possible
But it can't escape
Then the mouse will act as the cat and chase the cat, which is
now the mouse.
How to play the game:
Each game requires between seven and ten people.
They stand in a circle, hold hands and raise their hands above their
heads. Then they start singing the song above. One person is chosen
as the cal and another as the mouse. These two stand in the middle
of the circle and lean against each other. When the others sing the
last sentence, the mouse starts to run, and the cat must run after
it. However, the cat must run in exactly the same route and manner
as the mouse. The cat wins the game when it catches the mouse. Then
the two exchange roles. If the cal runs into the wrong hole, it will
be dismissed from that round.
If it fails to catch the mouse in a certain period of time (usually
from three to five minutes for kindergarten-age children) it will
exchange its role with the mouse. The game will then continue.
