Don’t Jump on That!

Don’t Jump on That!

Before the game begins, four square pieces of cardboard in different colors are placed on the ground at equal distances from each other. These colors can be, for example, yellow, blue, green, and red. One player is chosen as the tagger, while the others take turns playing.

The tagger loudly calls out one of the colors. The player’s task is to jump quickly onto any color except the one that was called. For example, if the tagger says “red,” the player must jump onto yellow, blue, or green instead.

If the player accidentally jumps onto the called color, hesitates, or reacts too slowly, they are out, and the next player takes a turn. The tagger may speed up the color changes to make the game more challenging.

This game helps students improve their attention, focus, and quick decision-making skills, while also supporting color recognition and physical coordination.
