How to play
A one-minute relay where teams race to build the best poker hand from a deck of cards, but every card they collect costs them an exercise. Teams must weigh greed against effort, which keeps it tactical and fast.
- Split the class into teams of 4 to 6 and place a deck of cards 20 metres in front of them.
- Set a timer for 1 minute. On "go", one runner per team fetches the top card, relay style.
- Teams can collect as many cards as they like within the minute to build a good poker hand.
- When time is up, teams reveal their hands and complete one exercise for every card collected, using the exercise list.
- Teams without the winning hand also complete a 200 metre run.
- Play 2 or 3 rounds at the start or end of a session.
