Stay safe

- Watch your footing and keep a safe distance from others.
- Walk the last few steps before kneeling to flip cards.
- Anyone with a recent injury should take the easier option or sit this one out.
How to play
- Lay 16 face-down cards 15 metres away.
- Teams relay one runner at a time; each runner flips two cards.
- Matching pair: keep them. No match: flip back.
