Instructions

Everyone should stand behind the line on the floor, facing the person leading the game. They should pretend they’re stood on the bank of a river.
Make sure that everyone stays at a safe distance from the people next to them.
When the person leading the game calls ‘river’, everyone should jump and land with both feet over the line.
When the person leading the game calls ‘bank’, everyone should jump back to the other side of the line where they started.
Everyone should play a few rounds like this.
When everyone’s got the hang of the game, the person leading the game should explain that when they call ‘bridge’, everyone should jump so that one foot is on either side of the line.
If anyone makes a mistake and jumps the wrong way, they’re out of the game. They should take a step back and start helping the person leading the game to spot mistakes.
Try calling ‘river’ or ‘bank’ twice in a row to catch people out.
Everyone should keep playing until most people have been knocked out of the game.
Don’t forget to congratulate the winners!
