Walking line roughly 6-8 meters long

HOW TO PLAY
1

Mark a straight or gently curving line on the ground to represent a path across a salt flat.

2

Each player balances a tray topped with a few small stones on one open palm or on top of their head.

3

Players walk the full length of the line without using their other hand to steady the tray and without dropping any stones.

4

If a stone falls or a foot steps off the line, the player must return to the start and try again.

5

Time each player's successful crossing, and the fastest clean crossing wins.
