HOW TO PLAY
1

Players line up and one player bends over to form a low back to be jumped over.

2

Each player in turn takes a running start and leaps over the bent-over player's back, placing hands on their shoulders.

3

After everyone has jumped once, the player who bent over stands slightly taller, or a second bent player is added ahead.

4

Play continues with the jumping obstacle growing progressively higher each round.

5

A player who fails to clear the jump cleanly is out, and the last player still successfully jumping wins.
