    “This is referred to as Cold Shoulder for obvious reasons. We also do a similar activity where we freeze a pair of shorts and that’s called Chilly Willy…”

    I chose the wrong time to take a sip of water. Was not expecting that ending, haha!

    I played this at summer leadership program for middle school students. It was a lot fun, especially on a hot day. I had a couple students tell me that this was one of their favorite activities. Make sure you use old t-shirts.
