Rules for wrapping the fabric need to be stated because there is a tendancy to simply carry the cloth and not really wear it. Students wrap the fabric tightly around them to make a skirt, tying the two ends at the waist. They put baskets or books on their head and race the pre-determined course. This can also be done as a relay race. The student who reaches the finish line first with basket or book still on the head, or the team which completes the race first is the winner.
Students enjoy eating the fruit in the baskets.
Unmarried women sometimes wear 2 or 3 skirts to give good coverage of the ankles. Each student racing in a heat needs a tray, plastic soda bottle, and two cups. A nearby water source is needed. Arrange prizes for winners and runners up and have a whistle, megaphone, and a recorder for race day. Finally, set the race course.
