Lemon and Spoon Race
About this game
Each runner balances a lemon on a spoon across a short course. No holding it in place, no catching it if it goes — a staple of Onam sports days everywhere in Kerala, and much harder than it looks when the whole campus is watching.
How it works
- 1Open to everyone on the day — no advance sign-up needed
- 2The lemon must stay balanced on the spoon without being held
- 3If it drops, return to the point it fell before continuing
- 4Fastest across the course wins the heat
- 5The judges' decision will be final
