4. The game
• Players are divided into two or more teams, with
a minimum number of two members per team.
During the game, two members of the “it” team
shall serve as “game posts” as they stand
opposite each other and hold each end of the
garter. The objective of the game then is to be
able to successfully jump over the garter as it is
gradually held higher by the game posts.

5. The game
• Each team also has its own team leader, more
commonly known as the “Mother”. Once a team
member either touches the garter or fails to jump
at a certain level, the Mother can still save her
team by taking her team member’s turn. Failure to
do so will lead to the team’s elimination by making
them the new game posts and will bring the game
back to the first level.

6. Levels
• The Chinese Garter game is usually subdivided
into ten levels. Most of the time, however, the
players may decide for their desired number
of levels for their game. Here is an example of
