How to play
Lay one bed sheet on the floor per team of five to ten. Each team stands on their sheet, and on 'go' they have to flip it completely over without anyone touching the floor. If someone steps off, the team starts again. Expect a lot of shuffling, lifting and negotiating before anyone works out a method. First team to flip their sheet wins. Have each team explain how they did it afterwards, because the approaches are usually very different.
