    Introduction and story


    This is fun game your child and his/her friends will want to play for hours.
    Story – You are walking through an enchanted forest and you hear magical music that makes you run
    around really quickly. When the music stops you miss it so much that you really want to make it start
    again. The only way to do that is to follow your compass to a location where completing a task will start
    the music.

    Instructions
    Step 1: Set up the hoops in the position of compass points. Place the cards inside the hoops.
    (Alternatively, cards can be set up without hoops.)

    Step 2: Play music of your own choosing in a musical chairs fashion. Your child will run around until the
    music stops.

    Step 3: When the music stops, your kid will run to the nearest hoop or
    card. They have to maintain the action written on the card until you start
    the music again.

     Hopping: Balance on one leg, bending the knee slightly. Push off
    the leg as if to jump, landing back on the starting leg. Repeat.

     Star Jumps/Jumping Jacks: Begin standing with your feet slightly


    apart, and your arms by your sides. When you jump, release your
    arms and legs out to the side to make the shape of a star, landing
    with your feet apart and hands up in the air. Jump again to return
    to your starting position and repeat

     Bum Kicks: Start standing with your feet hip width apart. Kick
    your right leg up so that your foot touches your bottom, then jump
    off your left leg so that you land on your right leg and your left
    leg kicks up so that your foot touches your bottom. Continue to
    alternate.

     High Knees: Hold your hands out so they are in line with your
    hips and your palms are flat facing the ground. Lift your right leg
    so that your knee is bent at a right angle, and your thigh is parallel
    to the ground, touching the palm of your right hand. Jump off
    your left leg and land on your right leg, with your left thigh
    touching the palm of your left hand. Continue to alternate.

    Step 4: Repeat steps 2 and 3, but make sure your child runs to a different
    hoop or card each time.
