How to play
Instruct children to line up along a line that you have marked out along the ground. Opposite the children, place about 10 cones on the ground in a line. Children will follow your commands, such as the following:

- Jump like a kangaroo to the cone and touch your forehead to the cone; come back to the line
- Wiggle to the cone and walk around the cone three times; come back to the line
- Hop to the end and touch each cone with your hand; come back to the line
- Waddle like a duck to the cone and touch it with your knees; come back to the line
- Bear walk to the cone and touch it with your fingers; come back to the line.
