and Cold Clapping

Halt!
Equipment: None

are split into pairs. Two players stand back to back and
one calls out "Start!". The players begin to walk
away from each other slowly. After a few steps the first
player calls out "Halt!" and they stop and face
each other. The second player then says how many steps they
think it would take them to reach their opponent. The opponent
comes up with a lower figure if they think they can do it
in less or must say "Prove it!". The two players
continue the auction like 'banter' until one says "Prove
it!". The player who has to prove it must stride towards
the other player without a run-up in the quoted number or
less. If they manage it they win, else they lose the round.
Continue play with other pairs. The winners can go on to
play other winners and so on.
