Cut It.
Long lengths of heavy wrapping paper are procured, and one length is stretched out before each team of cutters, there being four on a team. The first one of each team is given a pair of scissors. At the signal all those holding scissors start to cut down the length of the paper, being careful not to cut too wide a strip, as each cutter should have a fourth of the width of the piece of paper. When they get to the other end and have cut their strip they run back and give their scissors to No. 2 of their team. No. 2 repeats their performance as do No. 3 and No. 4. Of course, the object is to see which No. 4 can first cut his way down the length of the paper.
It makes a very much better game if the lengths of paper are stretched out for the cutters, for the paper cuts much faster and wild mistakes are far more probable.
