You need
- Green sweatsuit per person, 1 each (buy: thrift store, or own: from closet)
- White t-shirt per person, 1 each (own: from closet)
- Iron-on number patches or white paper numbers, 1 per person (buy: craft store)
- White sneakers, 1 pair per person (own: from closet)
- Dalgona candy or a round cookie per person, 1 each (buy: bakery, optional prop)
- Iron, 1 (own: household)
Steps
- Buy the green sweatsuits and number patches. Pull white t-shirts and white sneakers from the closet.
- Lay the numbers on each shirt and have the wearers confirm their number BEFORE heating the iron, iron-on numbers cannot be repositioned once pressed. Iron or tape one number onto the front of each white t-shirt and the matching number on the back.
- Wear the white t-shirt under the green sweatsuit jacket with the number showing, plus the white sneakers.
- Hand each player a dalgona candy as the prop. Line up in number order for the photo.
- Safety: if using an iron, have an adult do the pressing. Keep numbers readable and identical front and back.
- Optional pro finish: draw a thin triangle border around each number with a black fabric marker. The border is what makes the number read as a player badge instead of a sticker.

Common questions
- Iron-on numbers or taped paper numbers?
- Iron-on for teens and adults who will keep the shirt; taped paper numbers for kids or borrowed shirts. Tape survives one evening fine and peels off clean.
- What if we cannot find green sweatsuits?
- Any green top and pants work, the white numbered t-shirt over green is the whole read. The sweatsuit is a nice-to-have, not the costume.
