Hammer, Fork, One, Three.
Whoever can reach home first.
[Explanation] This is a clapping and rock-paper-scissors game rhyme. Two children face each other and, following the rhyme, clap their hands together, cross their hands, clap against each other, and clap up, down, left, right, front, and back. When "" is mentioned, each child circles their chest with both fists. In these four lines, the last character of each line determines the action: first, they throw a fist, then a fork, then extend one finger, and finally extend three fingers. The last line can be flexibly changed based on the game content, using "rock-paper-scissors" to decide who chases and who escapes. It can also determine who performs a show or just decide the winner through rock-paper-scissors.

[Explanation] There is no limit to the number of children who can participate, but they must be an odd number. Everyone holds hands and forms a circle, moving their arms while singing. When "" is mentioned, all children release their hands and pair up. They clap together and say the last two lines. The child who didn’t find a partner performs a show, and the game starts over.
