HOW TO PLAY  

Players line up standing 6 feet apart from one another.   

The leader is the timekeeper. The timekeeper will say a length of time, and players will need to raise their hands when they think that amount of time has passed. Example: Raise your hand when you think one minute has passed.  

The round ends once all players have raised their hands.   

The person who raised his or her hand closest to the designated length of time wins. All other players will do 10 squats.  

If there is a tie, have the two players do rock-paper-scissors to determine winner 

MAKE IT CHALLENGING
