How to play

  1. Mark out a circular course with string, pieces of paper or anything else you can find, and place a basket in the middle. Put tennis balls or crumpled up pieces of paper at each course marker.


  2. Shout "I am mighty!" and set off around the course as fast as you can, throwing the ball into the basket when you reach the next marker.


  3. If you miss the basket, stop and jump on the spot as high as you can 10 times.


  4. When you finish the course, get the paper out of the basket and go again – this time try running around the course the other way, or only throw with your other hand. Keep playing for 10 minutes!
