5 players or more, aged 5 and up, played indoors and
outdoors.
Five popsicle sticks or plastic straws are needed for this game,
which should be placed on the ground horizontally, each about two
feet apart, like railroad ties.
The first player should be the best jumper. This player starts
the game by stepping in the spaces between the sticks, and making a
great leap after the last stick. The last stick is then moved to
the point where the first player jumped, and the three middle
sticks are moved up to make the spaces even again.
The rest of the players need only successfully run through the
course, stepping only once in each space between the sticks.
Then the jumper lengthens the course once again. Gradually,
players cannot successfully run through the course, and the last
player to do so is the winner.
