Materials Needed:

• 1 pc of paper per player (encouraged to use scrap/recycled paper)

How to play:

1. Pair students up.
2. Both players stand on their sheets of paper. 
3. They play paper, scissors, and stones to decide who does the English practice (Read, Spell, Make a Sentence, etc.) first. 
4. The winner should do the practice. The loser repeats what the winner said or answers the question. 
5. After both students finish their practice, the loser must fold their paper in half and stand on it again.
6. They continue to practice following these steps. Everytime a student loses a round, they must fold their paper in half. 
7. The papers should get smaller and smaller as they practice. They should try their best to stand on them.

*Note* Students should not step on the floor and must try to keep their balance while playing.

Teacher’s Role

You can set a timer (3-4 minutes) to play this game or have the students play until one of them can’t fold their paper anymore.

 Walk around and check students as they practice. Make sure you help students who may be slower or need guidance with the practice. 

Who wins?

The student with the larger piece of paper at the end of the game is the winner.

What’s there to love?

Students have loads of fun playing this game. They enjoy that winning depends on how good they are playing PSS. It’s like a mini duel!

It gets funnier and funnier as they fold their paper smaller and smaller. You will also have fun watching them stand on the tips of their toes to balance on it.

They will love it. So will you.
