The '''Circle Hand Game''' is a game among [[middle school]] and [[high school]] students.

===The game===
The circle hand game is played by two or more players with the one player trying to get the second to look at his hand while he makes a [[circle]] with his [[thumb]] and [[index finger]].  When the second player looks directly into the circle, this is known as a get.
(contracted; show full)
*The circle must be below the waist to count as a "get".
*The circle can not be put into direct line of site

===The get===
There are many [[secrets]] to a good get but it is often necessary to distract your [[opponent]] from realizing that the game is on. Good gets range from very sneaky (offering the person [[money]] and pretending to take out your [[wallet]] only to get them instead) to very blatant (standing and pointing with one hand at the obvious circle made with the other hand).
  With the advance in technology, it is now possible to email a picture of circled fingers to "get" a player via email.  This is particularly effective if a player were to live in a different country.
