Grown-ups
Coach Peabody, counting

Keep one foot in front the whole way and chase it with the other, like a horse.

Gallop

Go somewhere · ages 4 to 12 · Counted in metres · 🤫 Quiet

How to do it

  1. Same foot leads all the way down.
  2. The back foot never overtakes.
  3. Swap the leading foot on the way back.
  • Nothing at all
  • Somewhere you can run a few steps and turn round.

Watch out for this

Keep the same foot in front. If they swap, slow down until they stop swapping.
The back foot overtaking: you are just running.

Make it fit you

The right version is the hardest one you can still do properly. That is not a kindness, it is how this works.

Harder

Can't jump? Walk it with one foot always in front.
