Leave a good amount of space between pairs. - Both teams are therefore now parallel to each other, resembling two ladders laying on the ground. - Both teams now number off, so that each pair has a number. - When a number is called, the pair jump up and run down the ladder towards the tallest pair, stepping over all the legs of their team on the way, then running the length of the ladder to the top and back down over the remaining legs of the ladder, to their original position. - When the teams get use to going one pair at a time, call several numbers in quick succession and watch the confusion. 5 Closing Ceremony Wrap up the evening, give out any notices for next week etc. Notes: For safety no hands on the floor and make sure feet together and legs stretched out at all times.
