~Circle Game Song~
*{Game}*

We all stand here
To Krishna pleasure - we bring
And as we stand
Loudly his glories we sing!

[Runner]
Clap your hands now,
One, two, three!
The one I touch must
Try to catch me!

[ALL Chant and clap]
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna,
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare;
Hare Rama Hare Rama,
Rama Rama Hare Hare

[ALTERNATE: ALL]
harer näma harer näma
harer nämaiva kevalam;
kalau nästy eva nästy eva
nästy eva gatir anyathä [Adi 17.21]

HOW TO PLAY:
Children stand in a circle, with hands joined.
One child is chosen to be the 'Runner',
who leaves the ring and walks around the
outside of the circle. At the words: "The one I touch",
the runner taps the shoulder of a child who
becomes the chosen Chaser, who must then
leave the circle to try and catch the Runner.

If the Runner isn't caught before he reaches
his place in the ring, while the children chant
MahaMantra [or ALTERNATE mantra] and
clap hands, then Chaser becomes the Runner
for next game and the game starts again. Else
the Runner continues to be the Runner for
the next game.
