Setup

Prepare two large t-shirts, the larger the better. Split everybody up into two even teams. Assign two people to be the t-shirt facilitators who will help their team slide the t-shirt off and on each person in their team. The remaining people in each team line up in a single file. So that the two teams are each in their own single file line next to each other. The person who is at the front of the line must face the rest of their team who are facing them. Put the t-shirts on the two people at the front of their lines. The front person of each line must then lock arms with the person in front of them. The t-shirt facilitators should stand next to the front person of each line, ready to move their t-shirt to the next person.

How to Play

On the count of ‘Go’, the facilitators grab their teams’ front person t-shirts and pulls them up and over their heads, though their connected arms onto the next person. Once the t-shirt has been moved to the next person, that person must turn around and lock arms with the next person and the facilitator repeats the same technique to move the t-shirt over to the next person. Each team continues doing this until the last player of one team is wearing the t-shirt. That team wins the game!
