Two of the players are chosen to be a mousetrap. They face, take hold of both hands and hold their arms high. When the leader blows a whistle, all mice stop and the trap comes down and catches any mouse that happens to be under their arms. The mouse who is caught goes to the center of the ring and the game proceeds. When the next player is caught, these two make a new mousetrap at the opposite end of the circle from the original one.
Game proceeds until all mice have become traps.
