HOW TO PLAY
1

Stand the stilts upright and step one foot at a time onto the raised foot rests.

2

Hold the top of each stilt pole firmly while finding your balance in a stationary position first.

3

Once steady, take small careful steps forward, moving each stilt pole slightly ahead before shifting weight onto it.

4

Practice turning gradually rather than pivoting sharply, since sudden turns are the most common cause of falls.

5

For a group activity, players can race across a set distance or see who can stay upright the longest.

6

Step down safely by lowering one stilt foot rest close to the ground before stepping off completely.
