Get set up
Gather the required materials: Spoons and lightweight jingle bells or similar objects. Set them out before explaining the first round.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Mark a start and turnaround point.
- Give the first player on each team a spoon and bell.
- Walk to the marker and back while balancing the bell.
- If it falls, return to the last marker or reset it where it fell.
- Tag the next teammate.
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-only, zigzag routes or individual timed runs.
Make it a great round
No running on slippery floors and use lightweight objects.
Keep everyone comfortable
Use clean, stable, age-appropriate materials and remove anything sharp, breakable or unsuitable for the youngest player.
