"Children stand in two straight lines facing each other. A length of rope is used to mark a line between the two teams. Each side represents a Ugandan village.
The children march forward and back from the rope in turn singing, ‘We have come to take a prisoner from your village and his name is…’
A person from each side is chosen by their team. Teams try to pick two players who roughly match each other in size and strength.
Standing opposite each other, the chosen pupils must try to pull the other one over the line whilst all the children count to 10. If a pupil is pulled over the line then they are a prisoner and they have to join the opposite side.
This continues until there is only one player left in a village or a certain number of pupils is reached on either side."
