Follow in My Footsteps

What you need:

• An area of wet sand that holds footprints and other impression well.

What you do:

• While the other players close their eyes, the leader creates a zany path of prints – walking backward, jumping, doing a cartwheel, zigzagging, walking on his/her knees or hands, etc. (stick to simple movements with younger children; experiment with more challenging ones for older kids).
• The players then take turns following the prints, fitting their feet (or hands, knees, and so on) as closely as possible into the impressions, which means figuring out how each was made.
