Directions- • Pick a partner!• On a sheet of paper, draw a circle• Take ten stones and place them outside the circle • You will throw one stone in the air and move the stones on the paper before

the stone in the air comes back down• During a one minute time span, you’ll want to move as many stones into the

circle as possible• Once the one minute is up, the other player has a minute to complete the same

step• If the player does not catch the stone in the air as it comes back down, then

he/she must put a stone from the inside circle back to the outside • Whichever play has more stones on the inside circle after the minute is up,

wins the round• We will play this game March Madness style! Whoever wins the competition
