HOW TO PLAY
1

Give each player or pair an identical bundle of long frond strips and a picture showing a simple finished woven shape to aim for.

2

On the signal, players race to weave their strips into the shown shape using a basic over-under braiding technique.

3

Players may ask a teammate for help holding strips steady but must do their own weaving.

4

The first player or pair to raise a completed, intact woven shape calls out to stop the round.

5

Compare the finished piece to the reference picture before confirming the win, since an incomplete or unraveling piece can be asked to keep working while others continue.
