The rules
How to play
1
Divide into two equal teams. One team forms the 'donkey', the first player leans against a wall and the others bend over holding the waist of the person in front, making a long line of backs.
2
Players from the other team take turns running and leaping onto the chain of backs, spreading their weight.
3
If the donkey collapses under the weight, they reform and stay as the donkey.
4
If all riders are on and the donkey holds for a count of ten, the teams switch.
Keep it fair
Set a weight rule before starting, only one rider per segment of the donkey, so the donkey can never claim it was 'unfair' weight.
