Teams are formed of one student and one teacher. Five divisions of 8-10 teams play on a specified day Monday to Friday. The teachers are not only playing shuffle board but also supervising the hallways. The activity is run during the winter when large numbers of students are unable to leave the school for lunch and the need for supervision is greater. Students not participating watch the games thus keeping them busy during lunch and out of trouble.
Teachers select their own student partners.
This facilitates participation of students who are not athletic but could greatly benefit from the activity and interaction. Each division plays on the same day every week making it easier for teachers to organize their time. Each division determines a winner. Place two boxes on each side of the court. Ensure the boxes are placed within a reasonable distance of the centre line, the distance should vary based on the age level.
