All participants sit in a circle. The leader begins, saying "Ali Baba and the forty thieves" while doing a repeatable motion with his/her hands. As sonn as the phrase is finished, the second person picks up the leader's first motion, saying the phrase. The leader is now saying "Ali Baba..." for the second time, with a new hand motion, so the seconder person much still keep an eye on the leader to duplicate every new motion the leader finishes. The motions travel around the circle until the first motion reaches the leader. When the leader sees that motion they stop their action. Then the non-action follows through the circle until the last person has repeated the last motion.
