HOW TO PLAY
1

Line up in a loose parade formation with a designated rhythm leader at the front.

2

The leader starts a simple whistle or drum pattern and begins marching forward.

3

Everyone follows, adding their own instrument sounds while keeping the group's shared beat.

4

Periodically the leader calls out a new formation, like weaving into a spiral or splitting into two lines.

5

The parade ends when the leader brings everyone back together for one final loud flourish.
