With a partner you have to write the numbers 1-20 in the air, in a race.

Everyone stands on top of a towel and they must work together to get to the other side of the room.

Variation - Get everyone to stand on the towel and try and turn it upside down without anyone falling off the towel.

Hold hands and follow calls. Say call and complete call

• Jump left
• Jump right
• Jump in
• Jump out

Mix it up by do what I say but say the opposite, do the opposite of what I say but repeat what I say.

Put tape down on the floor and get the participants to line up along it. Get them to reorganise whilst always keeping one leg on the tape. It could be things such as:

• Alphabetical order (first or middle name)
• Height
• Age

Everyone has a backpack, in space try to hold it above head and do exercises like squat down/ sit down and stand up, holding it above the head, then try balancing on one leg while holding it above the head. Can create a relay where everyone lines up, have to pass the backpack over the head to the next person, the person at the end has to put it on, jump to the end of the room and back, and then join the end of the line and pass it over head along the line again.

All participants are scattered in the playing area. The Leader tells the participants that they are now on stage in the theatre and need to put together a show.

• To the audience – Run to the right
• Backstage – To the left
• Pirouettes – Most graceful spin you can
• Point shoes on – run on tip toes on the spot
• Take a bow – Deepest curtsey you can
• Partner Balance – Grab a partner and create a paired balance
• Oh I’m exhausted – Lie down

Plie challenge, everyone in circle, go round see who can make the deepest plie. Then who can balance on one leg with arms in air. Stay in circle and encourage interaction between. See if everyone can hold hands and stretch each leg behind them one at a time.

Come to lying down hug the knees, point and flex the feet, releases lower back and helps as part of cool down. Leg uncurls and lifts, point and flex the foot and alternate legs (build a rhythm, encourage pointed toes and lowering slowly as though a ballet movement. Side lying leg lifts (as in pilates) which open the hips and warm up the lower body, again bending the knee and uncurling to make it appear more graceful and balletic.

Straddle, Pike, and Flower stretches for the legs before slowly getting back up, deep breathing and giving everything a shake.

Each participant puts the end of the balloon in their mouth and run to a point then run back. Can shuffle on a towel to make it harder.
