Instructions:
1. Sit or stand in a circle holding hands.
2. One child squeezes the next child’s hand.
3. Pass the squeeze all the way around.
Variations & tips:
1. Instead of just one squeeze, pass a pattern (e.g., squeeze-squeeze-pause) around.
2. Add a rule that if someone gives a double squeeze, the direction reverses.
3. Play background music. When it stops, whoever has the "squeeze" is out.
