How to play

  3. Decide if the winner is:
    • The longest in the air
      -OR-
    • The furthest from the take-off line
  4. Line everyone up
  5. Throw the planes
  6. Tell everyone that was a practice run
  7. Give everyone 2 minutes to fold their plane

  8. Swap the winner to be the other:
    • The longest in the air
      -OR-
    • The furthest from the take-off line
  9. Line everyone up
  10. Get everyone to swap planes with someone else
