How low can YOU go?

Limbo's an African game that tests your strength and flexibility, so make sure to stretch before starting. You need a broomstick, or any other long stick, to play.

Two players hold the limbo stick while the other players take turns going under it. (It might be easier for players if they lean the top half of their bodies backwards, going under the stick hips first.)

After each player goes under once, the bar is then lowered about an inch.

Players keep ducking under the limbo stick, as it gets lower and lower.

If they touch it with any part of their body, they're out.

The last person left is the winner.
