How to play:

A leader is chosen. The leader stands about 10 meters in front with their back to the rest of the players. The leader picks a magic letter and says it out loud "the magic letter is _" When the leader calls out the magic letter no one can move. If they move they have to go back to the beginning. The leader starts calling out different letters of the alphabet. If the letter called is in your name you take a step forward. If you have two or more of the letter in your name you take the same number of steps forward. If the magic letter is called you don"t move. The game continues until one player reaches the leader. They become the leader and the game starts again. *younger children may need some help to know the letters in their name
