Tie-Off

Instructions

Step 1: Pair Up & Prep

Students find a partner and sit side by side with their shoes untied. Hands must be off the laces until the game begins!

Step 2: Ready, Set, Tie!

The judge starts the countdown: "3...2...1...Go!" Students race to tie their shoes as fast as possible.

Step 3: Quality Check

A tied shoe doesn’t count unless the knot meets minimum quality standards—no loose laces or sloppy loops!

Step 4: Tournament Style

The first to finish moves on to the next round, while their opponent is out. Keep going until only one competitor remains.

Step 5: The Final Showdown

The last student standing faces off against the ultimate champion—the teacher!
