-Setting Up:

  • Each player is given three playing cards (A =1, J =11, Q=12, K=13)

  • Two-fifth of the players are given a Mitt

  • Players stand in a scattered formation around the playing area

-Instructions:

  • On the leader’s signal to begin, taggers attempt to tag players without Mitts.

  • When a player is tagged,

    • Both players face each other with their cards in front of them face-down.

    • Each player picks a card from the other player and players simultaneously flip the cards.

    • The first player to say the correct answer (dividing the two cards--no decimal place, or one decimal place, or three decimal places...) is free to go, the other player holds the Mitt and attempts to tag another player (no tag backs).

-Questions & Notes:

  • Variation
