HOW TO PLAY
1

A large group of participants grips the edges of the blanket evenly all the way around, keeping it taut.

2

One volunteer stands in the center of the blanket while everyone else prepares to pull together.

3

On a coordinated count, the group pulls the blanket edges sharply downward and outward, launching the center participant into the air.

4

The participant aims to stay upright and controlled while airborne, sometimes performing a trick before landing back safely on the blanket.

5

Participants take turns being launched, and the group focuses on smooth, safe, well-timed pulls throughout.
