How to do it
- The children sit in a circle with one chair left empty.
- Behind each seated child stands a guard with their hands behind their back.
- The child behind the empty chair winks at a seated player, who then tries to run to the empty chair.
- The guard behind that player tries to hold them back.
- If the guard fails, the guard now at the empty chair is up next and winks at someone.
