Cone Zigzag

Set up

Put 5 cones in a line, 1 big step apart.

You need: A soft ball, 5 cones, bottles or shoes. Space: a flat area about 3 m by 3 m.

What to do

1. Stand at the start with the ball.
2. Tap the ball round the first cone.
3. Go round each cone, left then right.
4. Count the cones you pass.

Cannot play this way?

• No ball: Walk round the cones in a zigzag. Say left, right, left, right.
• Indoors: Use shoes as cones and a soft sponge ball on a carpet.

Play safe

• Play on a flat, dry, clear place.
• Wear shoes that stay on your feet.
• A grown-up watches nearby.
• Stop if you feel tired or hurt. Drink water after.
• Move the cones aside after play. Do not trip on them.
• Your body, your pace.

Try this next

• Go back the other way.
• Use only your weaker foot.

Maths: Count the cones. Say the number.
