- Having students be all on

their own (free-for-all) style
is one alteration that worked
well.

of the game. Once players
are hit and knocked out
they go sit in the sin-bin.
- The first player who is hit
goes and sits in the first
chair labeled 1. As players
are knocked out they enter
the sin-bin at the chair
labeled 1 the player already
in 1 moves to 2 and so

then the person at 6 enters
back into the game.
