Game version
Course follow-the-leader: one person leads a gentle movement and the group copies, standing well apart. Swap the leader each time.

The steps
How it works

Coaching point
Swing, then freeze.
Safety: At home, use only foam or plastic balls and swing only in a clear space with nothing breakable nearby.
Make it fun
Play it, don't drill it
