Game Diagram
- Divide students into pairs according to height. Shorter students play on courts with modified nets to ensure success
- Students stand opposite their partners on the three meter line as in the diagram
- Students must approach the net and without touching it, contact their partners hands above the net with their own
- A successful "high ten" results in a point for the pair
- After an attempt has been made, successful or not the student must return to their base position before attempting to gain another point
- Students continue for an allotted time trying to get the most points out of all the other pairs
