The group lines up behind a starting marker. There is a large soft mat in front of the group. On the start command, a binomial (grasping hands) jumps onto the mat. After the jump, it is the next pair's turn to jump onto the mat (flying change after leaving the mat or clapping off the next binomial). The aim of mat jumping is to jump onto the soft mat in such a way that the mat is pushed as far forwards as possible. The winner is the group that gets their soft mat over a defined line or against a wall first. To prevent the mat from being pushed further forwards when climbing down, the mat must always be left in the direction of the goal.
Variant:
The participants jump onto the mat individually.
