Each assigned a number
Discarded when interaction curtains drew to a close

One Word: birdhouse

One Word: circuit

1970s elementary students run PE circuits
gather beanbags & chalky erasers

try to avoid slips and splats
prevent huge hematoma lumps on knees
result from smash against white tiled floors
