Geting the kids to touch the top of their topper masts (on the water and upright), is dead funny. "Alright people, stand at the back of your boat", is always a good line! Seen 5 instructors and 2 pupils do it!

Gettin back onto the topic.
A good game to play is sink the oppie or topper. At BBSC we got 14 kids in an oppie but when the instructors tried we only got 4-6 me thinks Toppers we found hold about 10 kids but they were pretty small.
You can also do boat running where, you capsise and tie the oppies and toppers together then run from one end to the other. Is great to watch especially if you attach one end to a rib and then quickly accelerate . Gives the instructors a larf

On our instructors course we played a game in toppers where u had to run tround the front of the mast when u tacked, capsize and right after every rounding and cross behind the main sheet when u gybed! Was so much fun watching lots of grown men worrying they were gona capsize a topper and complaining about the cold.
