Get set up
Gather the required materials: Cones or safe markers. Set them out before explaining the first round. Clear enough movement space for the group and mark boundaries before play.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Place several markers in a row or scattered area.
- Split into teams or line players up behind a start line.
- Call a color, number or position.
- The active player travels to the matching marker and returns.
- Rotate players and continue.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Use walking, hopping or side steps rather than sprinting for smaller spaces.
Make it a great round
Keep markers far from walls and use non-slip surfaces.
Keep everyone comfortable
Clear the play area, set boundaries, avoid contact, and offer a lower-impact or seated alternative when needed.
