HOW TO PLAY
1

Each player balances a decorated pot on top of their head without using their hands to steady it.

2

On the signal, players walk the marked course at a steady pace, keeping the pot balanced.

3

If a pot tips or falls, that player must stop, reset it on their head, and continue from where they stopped.

4

Players may sway or dance a little as they walk, as long as the pot stays balanced.

5

The first player to complete the course with their pot still in place wins.
