On the signal, players walk the marked course while keeping the stick level and steady.

If the stick tips off a hand or falls, the player must stop, reset it, and continue from that spot.

4

Add a light object balanced on top of the stick for an extra challenge on a second round.

The first player to complete the course without dropping the stick wins.
