Get set up
Gather the required materials: Optional cones or 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.
- Split into teams and mark a turnaround point.
- Choose the first movement style.
- One player from each team travels to the marker and back, then tags the next player.
- Complete the round, then announce a new safe movement.
- Play several rounds and total points if desired.
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 giant steps, tiny steps, skipping or side steps.
Make it a great round
Avoid backward running, blindfolds and slippery surfaces.
Keep everyone comfortable
Clear the play area, set boundaries, avoid contact, and offer a lower-impact or seated alternative when needed.
