The patrol sits in a circle, facing inward. The boy in the center tries to catch the handkerchief, which circulates in such a way that the boys take it from the knees of a nearer or farther neighbor and place it on their own. The handkerchief may only be caught when someone is holding it in their hand. The caught boy goes to the center, and the catcher takes his place.
