For this purpose, everyone stands in a circle and one person (the goose) stands outside the circle. He walks in a circle around the people and when he touches someone, the person touched has to make a circle around the circle, racing the goose, and return to his place.

It is important to remember that when the goose touches someone, it runs in the direction it is walking, and the person touched, in the opposite direction.
