How to play
* Draw a straight line, a square and a circle on the floor or playground.
* As you draw the shapes, explain them to the children.
* Begin the game with all children standing with their toes on the line.
* Call out one of the shapes, for example 'square', and all the children run to stand with their toes on one of the sides of the square. The last child to arrive stands inside the square for one turn.
