The Bunny Master waves his/her hands next to his head (attached by the thumb) in a bunny fashion. The bunny Master minions are the people to his/her left and right. The person to their right, waves left hand and to the left, waves their right hand,mimicing the Bunny Master. The simplest way to pass on the Bunnies is to throw your hands forward and point to another person in the circle and they carry it on. However, If the Bunny Master drops one of their hands, the left as an example, the person to the right becomes the bunny master. False bunny passing would be to point whilst your hands are still next to their head – BEWARE OF THE DUMMY PASS. There is of course a drinking penalty if you are duped by this.
Now this all sounds simple enough (at least it should!) but there are many variations in how Bunnies can be passed on…mostly involving singing and actions of some kind. Here are some of the common ones (though usually more are made up)
The Dambusters Manoeuvre
If someone throws the bunnies at you whilst humming the Dambusters theme, the new Bunny Master becomes a pilot (standard googles round eyes with hands), the minions become his propeller and machine gun, with appropriate sound effects
The Baseball Pass
If the Bunny Master passes the bunnies as if they are swinging a baseball bat then the bunny has been thrown into the air. Any other player can catch them but if two plays try to catch it then they both get a drinking penalty
