Exam Room Cricket

  • 1 Run = Letting someone go to the toilet.
  • 2 Runs = Hushing students walking past the exam room
  • 3 Runs = Handing out extra paper.
  • 4 Runs = Helping a student with an error in a paper or clarifying an instruction
  • 6 Runs = Crossing off the board of time to go.My personal best is 14 runs in a one hour session. Now this game can be expanded to three or five day matches with a suitable prize to the victor at the end. It started off as a bit of a joke but it has made the time pass faster and we are all more alert to hands up.

    Happy Examining
