6 foot social distance challenge
One person holds the end of the measuring tape (must be upside down so you can’t see the distance), and the other person grabs the tape and walks back until they feel they have reached six feet. Once you are confident in your placement, lock the measuring tape and flip it over to see how close you were to actual six feet apart. Closest person to six feet wins.
