No score in this one. That's the point of it.
Jump the River
- Chalk or tape
- A room you can take three steps across.
- Land soft: knees bent, knees out, feet flat.
How to play
- Chalk or tape two lines on the floor: that's the river.
- Everybody jumps the river and lands still on the far bank.
- Each time everybody is across, make the river a hand's width wider.
- When the river is too wide for you, that is your river. Jump that one.
- Nobody is out, and nobody's river is the wrong size.
Three ways to change it
- Step across instead of jumping, and still land perfectly still.
- Jump it from a standing start with no run-up.
- Hop across on one foot.
