How to play
Class breaks into two teams and line up in the centre of the playing area back to back about one metre apart - Each student should have a direct opponent - One team is nominated as the "odds" the other is the "evens" - Students stand still and await a number called by the teacher - If an even number is called, the even team run to the wall they are facing and the odds chase them - Students receive one point if they successfully tag the runner
