HOW TO PLAY
1
Explain that a zaffe is a festive drumming and dancing procession that traditionally leads couples or guests of honor.
2
Choose one player to be the guest of honor for the round, walking at the front of the line.
3
Everyone else forms a line behind them, clapping and stepping to a shared beat led by the drummer.
4
The line snakes through the space in a loop, with players adding claps, cheers, or small dance flourishes as they go.
5
Every lap, a new player takes the front spot as the guest of honor.
6
Continue until everyone has led the parade at least once.
