All participants in a group are given a number and line up in a column behind the starting marker. On an acoustic signal (e.g. a number called out by the sports leader, number of beats on the tambourine or tapping with sticks), the runners matching the sound (same numbers) compete against each other by running round a turnaround and returning to the starting position. The winning group receives a point (points may be awarded to the winner as well as the second and third place finishers). After a certain number of rounds, the groups are reshuffled so that the same participants do not always compete against each other.
Variant:
Change the form of movement (e.g. one-legged hopping, four-footed gait, running backwards).
