Objective
Cool-down
Organisation
⌛Duration: 5-10min
👥Participants: groups of 3-10
⚙️️Equipment: none
Description
Form a circle with 4-8 players and choose a master ninja.
When the master says "ninja", everybody jumps back and assumes a ninja stance. The master ninja starts playing, and then everyone takes turns in a clockwise direction.
Each player has one action (for example jump forward while raising their arm) to try to touch the hand/arm of an opponent. Those who get attacked have the right to one action to dodge. Once their action has been used, the ninjas stay like statues until it is their turn again. If a ninja's hand is truck, they make a fist (or put their arm behind their back) to indicate that their hand has been severed. When they have lost their two hands, they are eliminated from the game.
Variations
➖Attacking the forearm or the entire arm, and bring the arm behind the back once it has been cut.
➕Attack also the legs, and lose once all 4 limbs have been lost.
Notes
Think of an activity for the players who get eliminated very quickly.
Let's be frank: this is a game that everybody loves, but it is specific to parkour only through the ninja theme it evokes. Moreover, the intensity is quite low, and it cannot be enough for a warm-up.
