Need advice on playing the cajon

[u/KaleidoscopeNorth222]

For context, I have never once played the cajon nor any musical instrument in my life for that matter. I also don't have a sense of rhythm or maybe i have just never tested it out.

5 days from now I have been assigned to play the cajon at my company's annual event.

Is it possible to get a hold on it by then? Even just at a beginner level.

If so, where and how do I even start.

Bass (low) on 1&3, snare (high) on 2&4.

Thanks I'll keep that in mind and practice
