HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

We are going to participate in a partner activity.

Before each bout begins we must show our opponent respect by bowing (traditions such as throwing salt and foot stomping can also be introduced).

The aim is then to face your opponent and place your hands on each others shoulders.

There will be no holding or tugging on clothing.

When you are both ready commence to try and tap the toes of your opponent with your feet, play best of five and then change partners.

Remember that you must always finish the bout by bowing to your opponent.
