Tie-Off

Lace up for a lightning-fast shoe-tying showdown—who can knot it the quickest?

Step 1: Pair Up & Prep

Students find a partner and sit side by side with their shoes untied. Hands must be off the laces until the game begins!

The judge starts the countdown: "3...2...1...Go!" Students race to tie their shoes as fast as possible.

A tied shoe doesn’t count unless the knot meets minimum quality standards—no loose laces or sloppy loops!

The first to finish moves on to the next round, while their opponent is out. Keep going until only one competitor remains.

The last student standing faces off against the ultimate champion—the teacher!
