How to Play
Place a paper bag upright on the floor.

Players attempt again with the shorter bag.
Each round, fold the bag shorter. Players who fail are eliminated.

Facilitator Tips
Clear the area around the bag for safety.
Have multiple bags in case one rips.
This game gets hilariously physical — warn people to wear appropriate clothing.
