Description

Stage 1: Competitive Fives.

• Everyone in the circle stands up.
  
• Choose someone at random to start (you could use lollipop sticks to make sure it is fair).
  
• Ask this person which way around the circle they would like to go.
  
• This person starts by saying 1. The next person continues with 2, the next 3 and so on up to 5.
  
• Whoever is 5 has to sit down and is out of the game. People can say either one number or two
  numbers but not more than that, so it could go:

In Competitive Fives you will end up with one winner.

Stage 2: Cooperative Fives:

• The next time around give two people something to hold like a Koosh ball or a bean bag.
  
• The game proceeds in the same way but this time the circle works cooperatively so that the two
  designated people must still be standing at the end of the game.
  
• In this case people will have to put themselves out to make the game work.
