HOW TO PLAY
1
Explain that Cappadocia has a long tradition of hand-thrown pottery shaped on a spinning wheel.
2
One player mimes sitting at an invisible spinning wheel, shaping an imaginary pot with slow hand movements.
3
The rest of the group calls out guesses for what shape of pot is being formed — tall vase, wide bowl, narrow jug.
4
The potter confirms the closest guess and reveals the intended shape.
5
Rotate the potter role so everyone gets a turn shaping and guessing.
6
For the hands-on version, give each player real clay to shape while the group guesses the intended object.
