HOW TO PLAY
1

Seat each team in a tight single-file line as if crewing a narrow racing boat.

2

Teams mime paddling strokes together, following a caller at the front who sets the pace.

3

The caller shouts a rhythmic count that the crew echoes with each paddle stroke.

4

Midway through, the caller calls for a burst of faster paddling to simulate a final sprint.

5

Teams can be scored on how well their paddling stayed synchronized from start to finish.
