HOW TO PLAY
1

Sit or kneel facing a partner, holding one stick in each hand.

2

Follow a set beat, usually led by a chant, tapping your own sticks together in time.

3

On the matching beat, toss one stick across to your partner while they toss one to you, catching each other's stick without breaking rhythm.

4

Keep alternating tapping and throwing beats as the chant speeds up.

5

Once the basic exchange feels steady, add crossing throws in a circle of more players.

6

Anyone who drops a stick or loses the beat sits out that round while the others continue.
