1. Hook the ring onto the wire at the starting end.
2. Hold the handle loosely rather than gripping hard.
3. Move slowly along the wire, turning your wrist to follow each bend.
4. If it buzzes, go back to the start and try again.
5. Reach the far end without a buzz to finish the run.

• Fine motor control and a steady hand
• Slowing down deliberately, which is a hard thing to learn
• Wrist rotation, following a shape that changes direction
• Trying again immediately after an obvious, noisy failure

• Time a clean run and try to beat it
• Play left-handed once the right hand can do it
• Take turns and count buzzes rather than racing
