HOW TO PLAY
1

One player pretends to be a puppet, moving stiffly as if controlled by invisible strings.

2

A second player acts as the puppeteer, calling out movements like 'raise left arm' or 'take three steps.'

3

The puppet must follow the calls immediately and exaggeratedly.

4

After a short performance, players switch roles.

5

For a group version, an audience scores each puppet-puppeteer pair for their funniest routine.
