Cone Game

Group participants in pairs standing arms length apart with a marker cone placed at an equal distance between them on the ground.

Participants respond to the Coach's signal by touching the particular body part called out e.g. "head", "shoulders". On the call of "cone", participants must attempt to pick up the cone from the ground before their partner.
