Today’s challenge: One Step Back! All you need is a few family members, a ball or a safe, tossable object, and some space for everyone to spread out.

Start with a small circle–each person standing an arm’s length apart. The leader starts the game by passing the ball to the person next to them. When each person gets the ball, their job is to pass it on to their neighbor. Once the ball makes it around the circle without anyone dropping it, the leader says “One step back!” and all players take one step back. This continues until someone drops the ball or object, and then you will begin again in starting position and distance. 

 Challenges to add to the game: 

1. Try standing on one foot as you pass the object around! 
2. Play “soccer style” and kick the ball on the ground instead of tossing it. If the next person has to take more than one step to receive the pass, start over!  
3. Play “football style” and punt the ball with your foot instead of tossing it. If the next person drops the punt, start over!  
4. Instead of taking just one step back each round, the leader can choose to say any number up to 10. All players will take that number of steps back!
