Let’s Get Active—Gif Edition!

Measure out a distance of 10 feet (if space allows) and mark with cones (or stuffed animals). Have children run this distance, pick up an object from the ground and run back to the starting point. When playing with two or more children, they can pass the object to each other after running the distance. With large numbers of children, try relay teams and races.
What are short, fun, and seem to be on an endless energetic loop? Gifs of course…and children!
