HOW TO PLAY
1

Give each player an identical whole coconut and a husking station.

2

On the start signal, players work to strip the fibrous outer husk from their coconut using the station's stake or tool.

3

A completed husk means the hard inner shell is fully exposed with no fibrous covering left.

4

The first player to raise their fully husked coconut overhead stops the clock and wins the round.

5

For a team version, run it as a relay where each teammate husks one coconut before tagging in the next.
