Are you ready to get some exercise? Come on, work those puny muscles. Phew! We're worn out already. We'll just rest here on the couch while you guys do these activities. ZZZzzzz...

The game is usually played this way: Someone is IT. Everyone else is not. IT chases the non-ITs, trying to tag them. Once IT tags you, you have to freeze. Stop moving, that is.

Now, a game that's all about standing still really has no place in our Physical Fitness program. We're here to make you lean and mean! So here's OUR version of Freeze Tag.

Someone is IT. IT finds a bucket and fills it with ice cold water. (Important note: the non-ITs cannot know that IT is IT. In fact, they cannot even know that they're playing Freeze Tag.) IT picks a bunch of people to douse with the cold water. ICE cold water, remember.

Then the non-ITs chase IT all over the neighborhood. Everyone gets a nice workout.

Pranks are great for keeping in shape. It's important to be nimble, stealthy, and to RUN FAST when you're done.

What you'll need:
  • A funnel
  • A penny
  • A glass of water
  • A victim


First, stick the little end of the funnel into your pants.
Next, pretend you're playing a really fun game of trying to drop a penny off your chin and catching it in the funnel.
Your victim will of course want to play.
So you stick the little end of the funnel into your victim's pants.
When your victim leans back to put the penny on his/her chin. . . . . . you pour the water into the funnel.

Here's where the RUNNING FAST comes in.
