Get set up
Gather the required materials: Toilet paper or crepe streamers. Set them out before explaining the first round. Clear enough movement space for the group and mark boundaries before play.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Split into teams and choose a willing mummy for each.
- Give teams equal paper or streamers.
- Start the timer.
- Wrap loosely around torso and arms while leaving face, neck, hands and legs free.
- Stop after the time limit and compare creativity or coverage.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Use a mannequin or chair instead of a person, or make it an untimed decorating challenge.
Make it a great round
Never wrap the head or neck, restrict breathing, bind legs, or tighten material around the body.
Keep everyone comfortable
Clear the play area, set boundaries, avoid contact, and offer a lower-impact or seated alternative when needed.
