HOW TO PLAY
1
Place one large shared bowl of peanuts at one end of the play area and give each team an empty cup at the starting line.
2
On the signal, the first player from each team runs to the bowl, scoops up as many peanuts as the spoon can hold, and carries them back without steadying the spoon with a free hand.
3
Whatever peanuts remain on the spoon are dropped into the team's cup, and the spoon is passed to the next teammate.
4
Any peanuts spilled along the way are left where they fall and cannot be recovered.
5
After a set time limit, each team counts the peanuts in their cup, and the team with the most collected wins.
