Shuffle Game

2 or more players
Ages 5 and up
Need: 2 sheets of construction paper or other paper that will slide across an indoor floor

This game needs to be played in a larger room where kids have room to shuffle wall to wall.

If the room is fairly large, starting and finish lines may be made with tape about 25 feet apart.

Players should be shoeless (bare feet or socks are fine!). Each player gets 2 sheets of paper.

Players line up at the starting line. The adult leader calls out, "Ready, set, GO!" and players beging shuffling along the floor towards the finish line.

Depending on the number of kids, this may be an each kid for himself race, or teams of twos may be made up.

While shuffling towards the finish line players must keep their feet on the paper. If they don't, they have to return to the starting line and begin again.

The winner can be the first player to cross the finish line. Or, players can reach the finish line, turn around, and shuffle back, crossing the starting line.

In that game, the player who crosses the starting line first wins.

Kids will get lots of laughs as it seems sometimes their feet move on their own and just slide off of the paper!

You can also play elimination and if a child's feet comes off of the paper they are out of the game.
