HOW TO PLAY
1
Players sit in a circle, hands cupped and touching their neighbor's hands.
2
As the group sings a rhythmic chant, the stone is passed hand to hand in time with the beat.
3
On a called stopping word, whoever is holding the stone must complete a small challenge, like naming a word starting with a given letter.
4
Successfully completing the challenge lets play continue with the song and passing.
5
Continue rounds until the group decides to end, celebrating everyone's turns with the stone.
