Time 
15 Minutes

 

Tools/Items required

Two decks of playing cards

Setup 

Split the whole class into two equal teams  standing in two lines facing each other, Ask members of each team to line up next to each other shoulder to shoulder.

Put  a deck of cards beside the foot of the players at one end of each line.

 

Rules

The players at one end of each line must reach to the floor  to take one card at a time off their pile(deck) of cards which is located on the floor beside him/her. When they have picked the card up they must pass it to the closest hand of the team member standing next to them. The second team member then places the card in the other hand and then passes it on to the third team member’s closest hand, and so on. When the final team member receives a card they must place it on a pile beside him/her on the floor. If a team member drops a card the rest of the team must wait until the card has been picked up again before continuing. Each team member must not hold more than one card at a time.

All 52 cards must be used and are to be counted at the end of the game Teams will have 5 minutes to plan their strategies before starting time. The team that completes the exercise first so declared the winner.
