HOW TO PLAY
1

Seat each team in a single-file line, sitting as if aboard a narrow boat.

2

Teams mime a rowing motion together in unison, following a caller who sets the pace.

3

The caller chants a rhythmic phrase that the whole team echoes back between rowing strokes.

4

Speed up the rowing motion and chant gradually to build energy toward a big finishing shout.

5

Teams can be judged on how well synchronized their rowing motion and chanting stayed throughout.
