Green tracksuits, numbered bibs, and a survival-game attitude. The numbers are the costume. Thirty minutes, easy: a green sweatsuit per person, a white t-shirt, and iron-on number patches or paper numbers. Pick low numbers; everyone wants to be 001.

Tip: draw a thin triangle border around each number with a black fabric marker.
Steps
- Lay the numbers on each shirt first.
- Have each wearer confirm their number before you heat the iron.
- Ironed numbers cannot be moved once pressed.
- Iron or tape one number on the front of each shirt.
- Put the matching number on the back.
- Wear the white t-shirt under the green sweatsuit jacket, number showing.
- Wear the white sneakers.
- Hand each player a dalgona candy.
- Line up in number order.
- 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.

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.
