The students pair up, standing facing each other while holding hands, and are scattered around to form “nests.” One player is designated as the “tagger” and another as the “runner.” The tagger starts chasing the runner, who can hide in any of the nests. Upon entering a nest, the runner grabs both hands of the player standing opposite them, causing the player behind them to be pushed out of the nest. That player must then run and becomes the new runner. Roles switch when the tagger touches the runner before they manage to enter a nest.
