LIMBO

Objective of the game:

See who can limbo under the stick at the lowest point.

Materials needed:

A limbo stick, broomstick, rope or hose

Mechanics/Procedures of the game:

1) Have the two people holding the limbo stick start the game by holding the stick about 4 feet from the
ground.

2) Everyone in line must then go under the stick by walking forward and bending backward under the
stick.

3) If someone touches the stick they are out.

4) Once everyone has had a turn going under the limbo stick start again by lowering the stick about 6
inches.

5)Continue lowering the stick each round until there is only one player that can make it under the stick.

6) If everyone gets out in a round start that round again until one person can make it under successfully.

How to win the game:

The rules of limbo quite literally make it a last-man standing process. A contestant is eliminated from the
game where he falls over, touches the bar, or is otherwise unable to completely clear the bar without
touching the ground. As contestants are eliminated, the duration between an individual's turns
decreases. In this, the later stages of limbo become an endurance contest in addition to a progressive
flexibility exhibition.
