You need a long length of rope and a number of thin pieces of tyre tube ‘rounds’ or similar. The ends of the rope tie together. Attach pairs or rubber tube to the rope at intervals. To play: 1 member stands inside the rope. Teams form up behind, each with their feet in a pair of rubber tubes. Front member holds the rope at waist and leads team round a marker or obstacle course. Points given for each time the course is completed.

Equipment: spoon, ping-pong or golf balls or stones, bungy cord or rubber strips tied together to form a long stretchy rope. Tie the cord to a goal post, tree or other firm anchor. Have a loop in the end for person to hold on to. Place the ‘loot’ (balls, stones) on the ground at a distance the cord will stretch to. One at a time, grab cord and run out with spoon to pick up a ball. Take back to leader, and next person has a turn. Points are given for each piece of ‘loot’ recovered. Replace balls when all are collected.

Set 2 or 3 planks on short logs or bricks. Each team member walks the planks, holding their ankles. One has to finish before the other begins.

Place an open weave net on ground and peg firmly in 4 corners and partway along sides.1 at a time, crawl through. Grab hacky sack/ball from bucket at the end and run it back to beginning. Next person goes. Either have many objects to collect or 1 team member collects and the next takes it back. Point for ach time someone completes the turn.

Equipment: petanque set, different coloured card circles. Best played in a sand-pit. Lay out cards in rows of different colours. Team lines up behind the edge of pit. One at a time a person throws 2 balls each. Then the next throws, till all balls have been used. Gather balls and take to team again, and continue playing.
Score: if ball lands on,, or rolls onto a card give points. Have colours worth different amounts. One leader needs to score while the other supervises and replaces balls when used.
Note: Don’t let anyone walk in front of throwers – petanque balls are heavy!
