SETTING

MATERIALS
- A large, sturdy blanket, tarp, or hide
- Enough participants spaced evenly around the edge to hold it taut
HOW TO PLAY
1
Gather a large group around the edges of a strong blanket or hide, each gripping it firmly.
2
One volunteer sits or stands in the center of the blanket.
3
On a count, everyone holding the edges pulls down together and then snaps the blanket upward in unison.
4
The motion launches the center person into the air, where they aim to keep their balance for a controlled landing back on the blanket.
5
Rotate to a new volunteer after each toss, keeping the rhythm steady for a safe launch and catch.
