HOW TO PLAY
1
One player leads the group by mimicking the movement of the sea or a sea creature, such as a rolling wave, a gliding turtle, or darting fish.
2
The rest of the group copies the leader's movement together as closely as they can.
3
Keep the beat with claps or a drum while the movement continues for a short stretch.
4
The leader switches to a new sea-inspired movement every so often, and the group adjusts to match.
5
Rotate the leader role so different players get to invent a movement for the group to follow.
