HOW TO PLAY
1

Line players up at the starting line, each with a coconut resting on the ground in front of them.

2

On the signal, players roll their coconut forward along the course using a stick to guide it, without lifting or carrying it.

3

Steer around any obstacles marked along the course by tapping the coconut gently to redirect it.

4

If the coconut rolls off the marked path, the player must retrieve it and continue rolling from that spot.

5

The first player to roll their coconut across the finish line wins the race.
