Thick socks and a smooth floor make a free skating rink down the hallway. The trick is to glide as far as possible without taking a single step.

What you need

  • The thickest socks in the drawer
  • A smooth floor with no rug
  • A cushion
  • A folded towel as a marker

How to play

  1. Check that the floor is smooth and clear the run of toys, rugs and chair legs.
  2. Lean a cushion against the far wall so nobody skids into it.
  3. Put on the thickest socks in the drawer.
  4. Push off from the wall and glide as far as you can without taking a step.
  5. Mark the best glide with a folded towel and try to beat it.
  6. Finish with a slow round where you glide as slowly and quietly as you can.
