HOW TO PLAY
1

Seat each team in a row on a bench, one behind the other, as if sitting in a canoe.

2

Give the front player on each team a paddle-shaped stick.

3

On the signal, that player mimes three paddling strokes, then passes the paddle back to the next player in line.

4

Each player repeats three strokes before passing the paddle further back, continuing until it reaches the last player.

5

The team whose paddle reaches the back of the line first, with every player completing their strokes, wins.
