or any other quick pair up
3. One student from each pair squats down. They are the "Squatters"
and go to one side of the area. The others are the "Standers"
and go to the opposite side of the area.
4. On the Start cue, walk fast and stand up the cones if you're
a "Stander" or tip over the cones if you're a "Squatter."
5. You may only walk, no running.
6. You may use only your hands to touch the cones.
7. You may not guard a cone
8. On the stop cue, everyone freeze and walk back to your
area without touching a cone.
