HOW TO PLAY
1

Line teams up single file, each with a full water bucket at the front and an empty bucket at the back.

2

The first player soaks the sponge in the full bucket, then carries or passes it overhead to squeeze water into the empty bucket at the back.

3

Racing against the other teams, repeat the soak-and-squeeze process as quickly as possible.

4

Continue for an agreed time limit or until a bucket reaches a target fill line.

5

The team that transfers the most water, or fills their bucket first, wins.
