HOW TO PLAY
1

One team bends over in a line, each player gripping the waist of the player in front to form a long 'donkey' back.

2

Players from the other team take turns running and vaulting onto the donkey's back as far forward as they can.

3

Each jumper must stay seated on the back without touching the ground until told to dismount.

4

If the donkey line collapses under the weight before all jumpers are aboard, the jumping team wins that round.

5

If the line holds until every jumper has mounted, the donkey team wins and the two teams switch roles.
