Instructions

Just like the Highland Fling (a solo Highland dance), this game event isn’t as simple as it appears. Rhythm, speed, and clear thinking are the keys to success.

Five beanbags are laid out in a diamond shape, whilst a Scout prepares to dance across them.

The person leading the game should use the five beanbags to make a cross on the floor. They should explain that the top-left square is square one, the one to its right is square two, the one underneath that square three, and the one to the left of that square four. They could label the squares if they think it’ll help.
The first player should stand in square one. As quickly as they can, they should step into square two, then square three, then square four, then back into square one. Both of their feet must land in each square. They should repeat these steps (in the same order) as many times as they can in 30 seconds.
The person leading the game should time 30 seconds and count how many cycles the player finishes. The more cycles they complete, the higher their score.
