DERN KALA

( WALKING ON THE COCONUT SHELL SANDALS )

 

NUMBER OF PLAYERS : UNLIMITED

 

 

HOW TO MAKE SANDALS : Cut the coconut-shells into 2 halves,. Discard the bottom half. Bore a hole with a nail at the dimple of the shell where the coconut root stalk should emerge, pass the string of about 1.5 meters long through it, make a knot at the proximal end to hold the string in place when pulled. The player stands on the shells griping the string between the big and the second toes like wearing a pair of sandals. Stand in line ready for the race. When the referee whistles, the players start walking as fast as they can. The first arrival at the finish - line wins the race.
