Retain the players in the same formation as for the peanut passing.
Have two sets of cardboard letters which spell the word “peanut.”
Choose any twelve players, six from each side. Line up these teams
of six opposite each other. Give a letter “p” to the first player on
either side, a letter “e” to the next one, and so on, so that each
team spells the word “peanut.” The director then calls off a word like
“net.” Each player who has the letter “n” must step out in front of his
team, holding up his letter so it may be plainly seen by the director.
The person on that team holding the “e” must step out beside him, and
so on until the required word is formed. The team that forms the words
most quickly wins. As a reward each member of the team and everyone on
that side gets a peanut. Use simple words like “pa,” “tune,” “pat,”
“pen,” “aunt,” “pun,” “ate,” “pan,” and finally the word “peanut.”
