Rock Teacher

One person acts as the teacher and the others are students.
The students sit on the bottom step and the teacher holds a rock
in her hand behind her back, either in the right hand or the left
hand. The teacher goes to each player and holds out her two
hands in front of them and the student taps the teacher's hand
that they think holds the rock. If that student is right they
move up a step. The student that gets to the top of the porch
first wins and they become the rock teacher.

Submitter comment: This is a game that I used to play when I was a little girl
sitting on my auntie's porch with my sister and our friends.
