How to Play
- Players line up standing 6 feet away from each other. Players are all going to be racing one another...slowly!
- Each player stands on the starting line! The finish line is the opposite end of the play space.
- The leader will be the starter and the judge. He or she will give players a motion to do, and players will attempt to do it as slowly as possible while moving to the finish line.
- Players keep moving but not too quickly! If a player moves too quickly for the judge, stops moving, or loses balance, he or she will be asked to freeze and do an activity in place for 5 seconds.
- The first player to cross the finish line is the winner!
