Speed Bounce – Keeping your feet together, jump sideways over a cone or towel and land on two feet. Jump back to your starting position. This counts as 2.
Shuttle runs - Place 2 objects (eg cones) 5 meters apart. Run back and to touching the objects with one hand. There and back (10m) counts as 2
Step ups - Step up onto a bench or a step so both feet are on the step and step down so both feet are back on the floor. This is one step up.
Star Jumps – The classic. Two feet together hands by your side. jump in the air and open your legs and stretch your arms out into a star position. Jump back to the starting position. That is one star jump.
