Use tape to create large boxes on the floor or ground. Each of these boxes is a deck. Students gather in one of these decks — the poopdeck, quarterdeck and halfdeck. The leader calls out a “deck” and all the students move to the deck called out. The last student into the deck is out of the game. The game continues until two students are left. You can yell out commands too instead of moving them to another “deck.” — like “hit the deck” (everyone goes face down, last one down is out)… “swab the deck” (everyone on their knees) … very, very fun. Be creative!

- Quickly move to the correct deck or perform the command given by the leader. The last player to do so is out of the game. Continue until only two players remain.
How to Play
- Create Decks: Use tape to create large boxes on the floor or ground. Label each box as the Poopdeck, Quarterdeck, and Halfdeck.
- Gather Players: Have all players start in one of the decks.
- Leader’s Call: The leader calls out a deck name (e.g., “Poopdeck”). All players must move to the called deck.
- Elimination: The last player to move to the called deck is out of the game.
- Additional Commands: The leader can also call out different commands:
- “Hit the Deck”: All players must lie face down. The last one down is out.
- “Swab the Deck”: All players must get on their knees and pretend to scrub the floor. The last one down is out.
- Continue Playing: The game continues with the leader calling out different decks or commands until only two players remain.
- Final Round: The last two players compete head-to-head. The leader can mix up the commands and deck calls to determine the final winner.
