Games on your own
WASTEPAPER BASKET. This is a hard game, in fact so hard that you cannot succeed. Try it, as it’s fun. Put a wastepaper basket against a wall and take one step back. Next, bend forward and rest your forehead against the wall. Now you must lift the basket up from the’ floor and try to straighten up. OBSTACLE RACE. This is a fast game and you can time yourself and try to improve your skill. Make a circle in front of you with your arms, but keep your fingers tightly linked. Now put year legs through the circle, one after the other. Can you keep going without a stop 10 times? 20 times? SOAP BUBBLES. Find a drinking straw and cut out a small piece
— about 2cm — at one end, making a triangular opening. Put the triangular end into a bowl of soapy and draw in a small amount. Blow from the other end of the straw,
holding your cut end facing upwards. you can also blow soap bubbles through an empty tton-reel. Rub one end with a wet cake of coap and blow from the other end.
