HOW TO PLAY
1

Gather the group into a wide circle, with each player holding a small bundle of fresh grass.

2

One player begins by tossing their bundle gently into the center while calling out something they are thankful for.

3

The next player around the circle follows with their own toss and their own word of thanks.

4

Continue around the circle until everyone has tossed a bundle and spoken.

5

Finish by admiring the pile together and, if outdoors on grass, scattering it back across the ground.
