hat could be better than playing games with friends outside? Running and jumping is good for the heart, so let’s get moving! Invite neighbors of all ages, have fun, and feel great!
Jumbo Jump— DENMARK
Number of players: 8 to 20 Location: outdoors or gymnasium
• Divide the players into two equal teams. • At the starting line, the first player from each team takes a turn to make a jump with both legs together.
• The second player from each team jumps from where the first player landed, and so on, until all players have made one jump.
• The team that jumps the farthest collective distance wins.
Commander TAIWAN
Number of players: Any number Location: outdoors or gymnasium
• Choose one person to be the commander. The commander moves a distance away from the players and turns his/her back to everyone.
• The commander counts one, two, three. As the commander counts, everyone moves closer to the commander.
• After counting to three, the commander quickly turns to look at the players.
• No one is allowed to move at that time. If anyone moves, the
commander can point to that player and call them out, eliminating them from the game. • The commander turns away and again counts and then turns, and so on. • When a player is able to reach out and touch the commander, that player wins the game. 13
