HOW TO PLAY
1

Seat players in a circle and give each person a paper plate frame with slits cut evenly around its rim.

2

Demonstrate a simple over-under weaving pattern using the raffia strips through the slits, working outward from the center.

3

Pass a basket of extra strips around the circle as players work, so everyone shares materials and can chat as they weave.

4

Set a time limit, after which everyone holds up their woven piece for the group to see.

5

The group can vote on categories like neatest pattern or most creative color choice rather than naming a single winner.
