Ice Floe

Many thanks to Helen Archibald for posting this game to the Guide Mailing List!

The idea is to race across the floor without touching said floor. Each person (or team) is given 2 pieces of newspaper (or substitute - like the plastic placemats). You put one down, step on it, put the second one down, move to it, pick up the first one, move it up front, step onto it, move the second one in front of the first, step forward onto it, etc. thus progressing across the floor. If you are playing in teams, all of the team has to get onto one ice floe so that the other ice floe can be moved ahead.

Girls must be on an ice floe at all times, but you have to progress, so you need to move the ice floes ahead, one step at a time. With newspapers, rambunctious players are apt to tear the papers, so speed isn't the only factor.
