STONE TEACHER

ONE PERSON IS IT. YOU USE STEPS FOR THIS GAME. EACH
STEP REPRESENTS A GRADE. IT CAN EITHER START WITH
KINDERGARTEN OR FIRST GRADE. IT WILL END WITH 12TH
GRADE OR FOURTH YEAR OF COLLEGE, WHICHEVER YOU CHOOSE.
ONE PERSON IS THE TEACHER. SHE WILL TAKE A STONE
AND KEEP SWITCHING IT AROUND. THEN SHE PUTS THEM
IN FRONT OF HER CLOSED AND THE FIRST PERSON WILL
TRY TO GUESS IT. IF THAT PERSON GUESSES IT, SHE
WILL GO UP A GRADE. IF SHE MISSES, SHE WILL WAIT
UNTIL NEXT TURN. THE FIRST PERSON WHO GETS TO THE
FINISHING POINT WINS.
