HOW TO PLAY
1

Set up a winding course with cones to represent a river's twists and turns, and divide players into small relay teams.

2

The first runner on each team carries the soft 'salmon' object along the winding course to a turnaround point and back.

3

At the handoff line, the runner passes the salmon to the next teammate, who repeats the winding course.

4

Runners must stay within the marked winding path rather than cutting straight across, mimicking a river's course.

5

The team whose final runner completes the course first wins the relay.
