Rules of the limbo

It is easy to play limbo, provided that you have a stick. Exciting background music is a plus as well, though it is not necessary. The stick, or pole, is held up by two people. The players pass beneath the stick while leaning backwards. After each successful round, the stick is lowered a few inches.

The Elimination

Limbo is a game of elimination.

The limbo stick is lowered each round until only one person remaining. Players are " take out" if he or she fall, touch the stick or touch the ground with a body part other than their feet. Players are also disqualified if they do not go under the limbo stick while bent backwards. Depending on the rules, the last person must go under the limbo stick one more time to be declared the winner.
