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.
- Mark a start and turnaround point.
- Split into teams.
- Offer movement choices such as crab walk, side steps or normal walking.
- Players travel to the marker and back, then tag the next teammate.
- Continue until each player has completed a leg.
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 only walking for mixed abilities or add a costume-free spooky soundtrack.
Make it a great round
Never force a movement style; use flat clear surfaces and allow normal walking as an equal option.
Keep everyone comfortable
Clear the play area, set boundaries, avoid contact, and offer a lower-impact or seated alternative when needed.
