Group is in a circle, facing in, with hands behind their backs, eyes closed. The leader walks quietly around the circle and places the rolled-up newspaper secretly in the hands of one of the group. The player starts hitting the player on his right with the swatter. He continues swatting while the victim runs around the outside of the circle and back to his place in the ring. The player with swatter now goes around the circle and hands swatter to another player. A knotted neckerchief can be used instead of a newspaper.
