Something to mark out a line - chalk, rope etc

Instructions

Mark out a line in the middle of the space using cones, masking tape, chalk or a length of rope.

Everyone should stand behind a line that's drawn on the floor with masking tape, chalk or similar.
When the person leading the game calls ‘river’, everyone should jump and land with both feet over the line.
When the person leading the game calls ‘bank’, everyone should jump back to the other side of the line where they started.
Everyone should play a few rounds like this.
When everyone’s got the hang of the game, explain that when ‘bridge’ is called everyone should jump and land with one foot is on either side of the line.
If anyone makes a mistake and jumps the wrong way, they’re out of the game.
They should step out the game and start help to spot people making mistakes.
Try calling ‘river’ or ‘bank’ twice in a row to catch people out.
Everyone should keep playing until there's one or two people left.
You could say congratulations to the winners, as well as to anyone who showed teamwork, helpfulness, care or determination
