dominoes when knocked over (AbMats work well) and arrange class in two lines. Place
start cones 2-3 meters from first domino. Using various exercises, kids race to start the
domino chain reaction. Broad jumps were a class favorite, although walking lunges,
planks, army crawls and bear crawls were also used.
Alternate version – Create one longer line of dominoes and have kids race along both
sides to beat the cascade of dominoes set in motion by another child or trainer/teacher
