COUNTING OUT RHYME

ALL THE PARTICIPANTS HOLD THEIR FISTS OUT IN FRONT OF THEM,
FORMING A CIRCLE. THE ONE WHO IS TO COUNT USES ONE OF HIS
FISTS AS A COUNTER. HE SAYS:
ONE POTATO, TWO POTATO, THREE POTATO, FOUR,
FIVE POTATO, SIX POTATO, SEVEN POTATO, MORE.
THE FISTS TOUCHED ON FOUR AND MORE ARE REMOVED UNTIL
EVENTUALLY THERE IS ONE HAND LEFT AND HE IS IT.
