First, pair up the children and sit them down, with legs flat (on the carpet) and spread out. Now give the pairs numbers 1,2,3 and so on.

You call a number and that pair will jump up and run round the whole of their team and sit down. The first one to sit back in place is the winner. Or as a team, the first pair run round and as soon as they are in place the next person gets up and runs, until the whole team has run round the whole team.

The first team to all sit down is the winning team.
