Away Each player stands on a small stump or milk carton, holding onto one end of a rope. Make sure there is a soft surface underneath. Decathlon Plus Set up a number of challenges and allot points for the number of completed events. Possible games are - a wheelbarrow race from one point to another, running around cones, long jumping, running around cones, running in place for one minute, sit ups. Older children can do the timing and see if they can better their performance.
Musical Hoops Put out enough hula hoops so that every child is standing inside one.
If you don't have enough hoops, circles of yarn work too. When the music plays, everyone jumps out of his hoop and runs, skips, dances or hops, whichever action is called out. When the music stops, everyone runs to get at least part of their body in a hoop by the time the adult counts to five or ten. Remove one hoop after each round. At the end, everyone must fit inside one hoop.
