SCREAMING TOES[pic 14]

• Form a tight circle facing inwards. Everyone looks down and

picks a pair of toes to stare at. When the leader says 'Go' everyone has to look up into the eyes of the feet they picked. If two participants are looking at each other than they must scream (not too extreme) and they are out. Keep going until there are two players remaining, there are two winners.

concentrate on how they have to move their mouths to pronounce words correctly. How to play Read My Lips:
