Each child chooses a partner and stands opposite to her, so that two
long lines are formed. Each couple hold a handkerchief between them,
as high as they can lift their arms, so as to form an arch. The couple
standing at the top of the lines run through the arch without letting
go their handkerchief, and station themselves at the bottom of the
lines, raising their handkerchief again so as to continue the arch.
This is done by each couple in succession until all have had a turn.
Whoever breaks the arch or drops the handkerchief must pay a forfeit.
