Divide into 3 groups, each group has one doctor. The rest are the patients. The patients
all do Rock-Scissor-Paper and the first loser picks a card from the pile. They look at the card and then say “Doctor, doctor my ______ hurts” or “Doctor, doctor, I have a _______” depending on the card they choose. Then the doctor should say “Oh That’s to bad” and wrap that part of the patient’s body in toilet
paper. This continues until one student in the class is a complete mummy (wrapped everywhere)
