-Then take the quarter and go to the other end of the table.
-Roll the quarter to see if you can get it in between the fork prongs.
-If you are playing with others time the group and see who is able to get the quarter in first and how long it took.

-Put the book with paper on top at your feet.
-Take the pen and put it between your first 2 toes.
