Warm-up Train jumps

Organisation

⌛Duration: 10min

👥Participants: 5+

⚙️Equipment: space with few obstacles and enough space for the number of participants

Description

Pick 1-3 hunters, who will have to go and touch the others (the hares). The hares start by trying to get away from the hungers with a maximum of 3 jumps. Then the hunters do 5 jumps trying to touch as many hares as possible. Each hare touched performs a task (say, 3 high jumps). Once the tasks are done, the game starts again.

Variations

➖/➕Perform strides or jump with both feet.

➖/➕Instead of having a forfeit, the affected hares become hunters. Either there are more and more hunters; or each hunter can only touch one hare, and exchanges his role with the hare.

➖/➕Give the same number of jumps for the hunters and the hares.

➕Play in a space with obstacles. A vault counts as a jump.

Notes

To make the game more dynamic, the leader counts out loud to set the rhythm of the jumps: "1-2-3...stop"
