How to play the Game: Hide the (shujun) Handkerchief

(shujun) is also called (shup). Hide the handkerchief (di


shujun) is a traditional game for Chinese children. In the game, one person is
surrounded by others who are sitting on the ground in a circle. When the game
begins, everyone starts to sing together and the elected person hides
(shujun) quietly behind one of players before the song is over. Once the player
realizes that the handkerchief is placed behind his back, he/she needs to quickly
stand up and chase the elected person who hid the handkerchief along the circle. If
the elected person is caught, he or she must perform an act.
