A merry game
A good game has clear rules: who plays when, how a task is picked, and what makes someone win. Playing in turns is fair to everyone. Tasks must be understandable, short and safe. No task should embarrass or hurt anyone. Before the game starts we read the rules together.
You need: disposable paper cups (more than the players), paper strips, a felt pen, a small bag. Steps: 1) Write a number on each cup (1, 2, 3...). 2) Write one task on each strip, fold it and put it under a cup. 3) Write numbers on separate slips and put them in the bag. 4) Each player in turn takes a number from the bag, lifts the cup with that number and does the task. 5) A used cup is set aside. Safety: tasks must not need running, jumping or eating; an adult or teacher should read the tasks before the game starts.
