Two people sitting very close (knee to knee) in chairs facing each other compete to drink a full container of Ginger Ale. They have a candle (which they can never let go of) in their left hand resting on their left knee, and a lighter and a Ginger Ale in front of them. They may only drink the Ginger Ale when the candle is lit.
They may blow out the other person’s candle but they cannot touch any of the other person’s supplies. The winner is the person who can finish their Ginger Ale first when their candle is lit.
If you move your candle off your left knee, you lose!
If you touch the other person’s candle, you lose!
If you touch the other person’s Ginger Ale, you lose!
If you touch the other person’s lighter, you lose!
If you spit your Ginger Ale, you lose!
For safety, you want slow-burning candles, and perhaps a guard that catches the melted wax so it’s not dripping onto the student’s hand or knee.
