Two people sit on the floor back-to-back, with their arms locked together at the elbows. While keeping arms locked, they try to stand up together. This is a difficult feat of balance, and should be done gradually. When several pairs are playing, the couple to stand first wins.
Variations: In Tailor Stand players sit on the floor in cross-legged position, with arms folded on their chests. On signal, they try to rise slowly to a standing position, without uncrossing their arms or legs. Any player who accomplishes this then tries to sit down again in the same way.
