Instructions
1. Play the Story of Guiding running game.
2. Players sit in Patrols in a large circle. Ask each Patrol to choose one of the names. Put the letters in a pile in the middle of the circle. The Leader reads a question. The first person to answer correctly takes a letter to start spelling whichever name her Patrol chooses. Continue reading the questions. Letters can be taken from the top of the pile or swapped with a letter that another Patrol already has. Continue until one Patrol has won all letters for their chosen name.
