How to play
Two turners swing two long ropes in opposite directions like an eggbeater while jumpers time their entry and skip inside. Start by teaching the rhythm: jumpers rock on the spot and enter as the near rope passes their face. Once a group can keep a jumper going, add challenges — counting contests, two jumpers at once, tricks like turns and floor touches, or rhymes the whole group chants. Rotate turners regularly; good turning is half the skill.

Teams compete at stations to win "gold coins". They can "sell" these to the bank. Police walk around the area and can take gold coins from teams if they touch one team member. Teams can also sell gold coins to goldsmiths who are walking around for less money than they would get from the bank, but some of these are undercover police. Teams can use money to buy weapons, which can be used to challenge other teams to steal their gold coins.

In this game, you divide a wide field into two halves with a long hose and scatter light, unbreakable objects like empty ice cream containers evenly on both sides. Split players into two teams, each starting on their designated side. The goal is to collect as many containers as possible onto their side. Players remain safe on their side but can be tagged when crossing into the opposing side. Tagged players must squat and wait for a teammate's rescue tag. Rescued players can be tagged again while escaping. To collect a container, players must cross to the other side, grab one container, and bring it back without being tagged. Dropped containers stay where they fall. Players can either run to rescue teammates or use stealth to blend in with the opposing team. If questioned directly or touched, they must reveal their true team.
