Players decide if when tossed, the coin will land on 'heads' or 'tails' and run to the corresponding line.
All students line up along the centre line.
Explain to students that the line to left of the centre line is 'heads' and the line to the right of the centre line is 'tails'.
The teacher flips the coin. Students must decide if they believe the coin will land on heads or tails and move to the appropriate line.
Players who choose the correct end remain in the game, where players who choose the incorrect end are eliminated.
