Step 1
Choose a person to be the doctor. This person is asked to go into a different room.
-
Step 2
While the doctor is out, all the people remaining in the room join hands in a circle.
-
Step 3
Without losing hold of hands, players are to entangle themselves thoroughly. This is done by some people stepping over two linked arms, others may crawl under. Some people may try to turn around, others become enveloped in a hug.
-
Step 4
Once the players are as mixed up as can be, they all holler, "Doctor, Doctor! We need help!"
-
Step 5
The doctor then returns to the room and attempts to untangle the "patients". No one is allowed to let go of hands. The doctor is successful when everyone is back in a circle again.
-
Step 6
Now the game can be played again as a new doctor is chosen! Usually the game is played multiple times since everyone wants a chance to be the doctor.
