How to play
Pair everyone up at a desk facing each other, with a round lolly in the middle and a straw each. Call 'start' and both players blow, each trying to send the lolly off the opposite edge. A lolly over the edge is one point. Play first to five, then rotate the winners along one desk to find an overall champion. The lollies get blown on and handled, so hand out fresh ones if anyone wants to eat them afterwards.
