How to play
Get on all fours and balance a cushion “shell” on each turtle’s back. One turtle leads a slow trail around the room while the other follows: curve around furniture, change direction, and crawl through open doorways. Swap leaders whenever someone calls, “Trail turn!”
At any moment, either player can call, “Crow!” Both turtles stop, lower toward the floor, and tuck their arms and legs underneath themselves to hide under their shells. Stay hidden for one slow breath, call “All clear!”, and continue the trek.
If a shell slips, freeze, replace it, and continue from the same spot. Keep it cooperative - there is no race.
