How to play
- Arrange about five sets of circles numbered 1, 2 and 3 along the course. Keep gaps jumpable and leave space between neighboring courses.
- Walk through in order, 1–2–3, before taking turns at the start.
- On the signal, make two-footed jumps through 1, 2 and 3 in each set toward the finish.
- After a wrong order, return to that set’s first circle and retry. The next player starts only after the previous player passes the second set.
- Finish when everyone reaches the goal. Celebrate accuracy, then vary the order or course for another attempt.
Ways to adapt
Preschool children: walk through two colors. Older primary school children: try orders such as 1–3–2.
