Whirling Long Jump Game

Materials:
24 in. stick

Directions:
Get three kids to come forward and try this simple game. Give each a stick about 24 inches long. Tell each to hold it straight out at arm's length with both hands so that he can watch it while turning around 30-50 times. Then, they must drop the stick and jump over it. Whoever jumps the farthest is the winner. Of course, most kids get so dizzy they can't even see the stick when they drop it, let alone jump over it. It's fun to watch. Have the rest of the group count as the person turns around.
