HOW TO PLAY
1

Three sticks are laid on the ground parallel to each other, close together at the start.

2

Each player takes a turn running up and jumping over all three sticks at once, landing beyond the last one.

3

Once every player has cleared the sticks successfully, the sticks are spread slightly farther apart before the next round.

4

Any player who steps on a stick or fails to clear all three is eliminated from the game.

5

Rounds continue with the gaps widening each time, testing each player's broad jump distance.

6

The last player still able to clear the spread of sticks is declared the winner.
