Everyone pairs up in a ring except one person, who stands alone. When that person calls a name, it is not the named person who must run to them — it is the named person's partner. The named one may try to hold their partner back, and whoever loses their partner takes over the calling.

Hold with care
  • The holding-back rule means physically restraining a partner who is trying to leave; how forcefully that is played needs setting before it starts
