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.
