HOW TO PLAY
1

One player at the front holds up a large decorated puppet head on a stick, leading the group.

2

The leader sways side to side in a big, exaggerated walking motion while moving forward slowly.

3

The rest of the group forms a line behind, mimicking the leader's swaying walk exactly.

4

A drummer or clapper keeps a steady parade beat that the whole line must match with their steps.

5

Every so often the leader changes direction or adds a spin, and the whole line must follow without breaking formation.
