The kid who got his fist touched on "more" put his hand behind his back and the ritual started over with the next kid. The last kid with a hand in the circle [[or the first with both hands behind his back) was the one who got selected or won what was being offered.
Yes, we had "One Potato", but we used "Dip, Dip, Dip" more often. It went:

Dip, dip, dip,
My little ship,
Sailing in the water,
Like a cup and saucer,
You are not It,
Because the king and queen said so.
O-U-T spells Out.
