HOW TO PLAY
1

Each racer balances a large frond or leaf flat on one open palm.

2

On the signal, racers walk or jog the course while keeping the frond from sliding off.

3

If the frond falls, the racer must stop, pick it back up, and reset it on their palm before continuing.

4

Racers may not touch the frond with their other hand except to reset it after a drop.

5

The first racer to cross the finish line with the frond still balanced wins.
