How To Play

In advance, assess your group’s physical abilities and spotting skills as required for this exercise.

2 ways to play

• The first is to see who is the fastest to go all the way across all the hanging boards without touching the ground.

• The other way is to get your whole team to go across all the boards at the same time without anyone touching the ground.

• You can use the ropes or wire to get across as long as you do not touch the ground.

• If you are going for time, then you should have at least 2 spotters on either side of the participant to make sure they do not fall.

• If you are trying to get the whole team across at once, then team members can help each other out anyway they want as long as no one touches the ground.
