HOW TO PLAY
1

Players sit in a circle, each holding a folding fan.

2

A leader demonstrates a sequence of fan positions, such as open, closed, or held to one side, each representing a different signal.

3

Players must quickly move their own fan to match the leader's called-out signal.

4

Any player who makes the wrong fan movement, or reacts too slowly, is out for that round.

5

The leader continues calling signals at increasing speed until only one player remains.
