Ladders

The Brownies get into pairs and sit in 2 lines, opposite each other. They must sit with their legs out straight and their feet touching. Each pair is given a number and when that number is called, they have to jump up, run down the "ladder", jumping over the other Brownie's legs, to the bottom, run all the way back up to the top and back down the ladder to their place.

For example: if no. 5 is called, they must jump over 4, 3, 2, and 1, then run all the way to the other end and jump over 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7 and 6 before sitting down. The first of the pair back gets a point for their team and the winners are the team with the most points.

Guiders note:
Make sure that the girls are spread out so that there is space for the runners to run through. The knees should be kept down, legs straight and hands should be kept in. That way there should be no injuries!
