How to play

The players are to sit in a large circle on the floor.
Each player is given a number.
The game leader is to start the game by spinning the plate on the floor and calling one of the players numbers.
The player of the number called out is to get up and catch the plate before it stops spinning.
That player then spins the plate and calls another number.
A player is out if the plate hits the floor before they get it.
Once a player is out they sit down within the circle as the other players.
If a player then calls their number then they are also out.
Once a number has been called the player who has spun the plate must sit down in their place straight away.
The winner is the last one left in or two as it is often difficult to get the last two out.
