Legs
Ages: Any
Inside/Outside: Either; preferably outside on a soft surface like grass or sand
Materials: None
Description:
Divide the group into pairs of about the same height. Have them sit down opposite each other with legs fully extended in front of them so that the bottoms of their feet are just touching their partner's. They may support themselves with their hands out behind them. Line up these pairs next to each other with about 1 foot of space between each set of legs (so when you stand at the end and look down the line, you will see a line of feet in the middle with a line of bodies on each side). Then give each pair a number, starting with 1 at one end (there can be as many numbers as you want, but try not to make it too huge). Then you will begin to call out numbers. As a group's number is called, both partners must get up and run down the line (always in the same direction - from smaller numbers to larger), hopping over the legs of all the other pairs, and when they get to the end, they turn in opposite directions and run down the outside of their respective sides, then around the other end and back over a bunch of legs to their spot.
Object: To be the first partner back to your spot. It can be really fun when you get two or even three pairs running at the same time.
