INSTRUCTIONS
- Ask a volunteer to move at least 25 metres away from the rest of the group.
- Rest of your group forms a line of 'spotters' facing the volunteer, side-by-side about arm's length apart.
- Upon issuing a series of agreed 'Are-you-ready?' commands, ask the volunteer to close their eyes, place their hands in front of their face, and run at three-quarter pace directly towards the line of spotters.
- Runner should aim to maintain a constant pace and only stop when the spotters make contact with their hands.
- Spotters aim to stop the runner from passing through their line, by meeting the runner's hands with their own.
- Repeat with several volunteers.
- When your group is ready, try a variation (see below.)
