How to Play
- Players line up standing 6 feet away from each other. Split players into four teams. Place a cone in front of each team.
- The leader will create a racetrack with tape pointing in the direction players have to run.
- When the leader says, "Start your engines!" the first player on each team steps onto the track.
- When the leader says, "Go!" the player runs a lap, goes to then end of his or her team's line, does five jumping jacks, then sits down. Then, the next player in line goes.
- The first team to have all players sitting down wins!
Check for Understanding
