HOW TO PLAY
1

Explain that Haft-Sin is a Nowruz (Persian New Year) table set with seven symbolic items, each starting with the Persian letter "S."

2

Scatter the seven labeled items around the room before starting.

3

On "go," each team sends one player at a time to fetch one item and place it correctly on the table.

4

Only one item may be carried per trip, and teammates must tag in before the next runner goes.

5

The first team to correctly assemble all seven items on their table wins.

6

For a twist, call out items in a random order that runners must fetch in that exact sequence.
