The two persons designated must be two who are sitting together.
They each take a ball, and they must hide the balls in the same manner as did the Guessers during the contest.

The fingers of the hands are closed, all but the index finger, which is extended as if pointing.

The hands and arms move up and down and also from one side to the other; all of these movements must be in exact time to the song and the drum-beats.

These swaying, rhythmic movements are pleasing to the eye and add to the enjoyment of the game.

While the two persons having the balls are hiding them, swaying their hands and arms, the Guesser, who is of the opposite side, is watching intently the hands of the players.
