Summary

It's a spin on a command-based warm-up like Traffic Light. Here, you do the opposite of whatever the leader calls. So if the leader says "jump," you might crouch down instead. That little flip adds a mental workout to the physical one.

How to Play

  • A leader calls out commands.
  • And you do the opposite of each one.

Required Materials

  • Just an open space.

Purpose

You'll warm up body and mind, and practice listening and quick thinking.
