HOW TO PLAY
1

Each player picks a stick and notes something unique about its shape so it can be told apart from the others.

2

All players stand on the upstream side of the bridge and drop their sticks into the water at the same moment.

3

Everyone hurries across to the downstream side of the bridge before any stick floats out.

4

Players watch the water below, and the first stick to emerge from under the bridge wins that round.

5

Gather fresh sticks and repeat for as many rounds as the group likes.
