Two participants assume the push-up position (facing each other). The participants try to unbalance each other by pulling their arms away (or dodging). Whoever leaves the push-up position first (e.g. knees touch the floor) loses.

No material required

The participants assume the push-up position and try to make another participant fall (knees on the floor) (pull hands away, push, dodge, unbalance, etc.). Whoever leaves the push-up position is eliminated and performs an additional exercise (e.g. wall sit, push-ups, forearm support). Which participant remains in the push-up position until the end?

No material required

The group members stand in front of each other in the push-up position with their feet resting on the shoulders of the person behind them. The last member of the group stands in an upright position and leads the group around a defined point (e.g. around a turnaround, to the hall wall or over a certain line) and back.

Per group:
2 colouring sticks/marking cones/caps ►start and reversal mark (optional)

Legwork:

• Two participants are opposite each other. Participant A moves sideways with Chassé steps, participant B constantly tries to stay opposite their partner. After the roles have been swapped, it is also possible to move in all directions. Contact can be trained by having the fists of the leading hand of both participants touch slightly with each step.
• Two participants are opposite each other. Participant A takes 1-3 steps forwards, participant B tries to retreat without delay. As soon as A stops, the partner may attack 1-3 steps. The exercise is performed without punches, the hands are in a boxing position or clasped behind the body.
• Torero: The participants face each other at a slight distance. Participant A stretches his arm forwards and runs towards participant B (the fist is aimed at the opponent's forehead). Before the attacker catches the defender, participant B dodges to the side (outer side of participant A's arm).

Evasive manoeuvre:

• Duck avoidance: Participant A performs a straight punch (target opponent's forehead), Participant B ducks under the punch.
• Rolling avoidance: Participant A throws a slap/side-hook, Participant B rolls out the punch with an upper body movement.
• Lateral avoidance: Participant A performs a straight punch, participant B avoids to the outside of the partner's punching hand.

Defensive behaviour:

• From a standing position, participant A performs a single punch, participant B avoids by avoiding the upper body.
• From a standing position, competitor A performs a single strike, competitor B defends by blocking (defence with the arms).
• From a standing position, competitor A performs a single strike, competitor B evades by taking steps.

Competition:

• Both participants try to touch their opponent on the shoulder (note: only from the outside, not crosswise) and on the knees. After a hit, both participants move back and touch a defined line (e.g. volleyball sideline) before attacking again.
• one-touch: Both participants try to touch each other (excl. forearms, incl. forehead). With each hit, a defined line (e.g. volleyball line) is touched before the fight continues.

No material required

Stage 1:
Touch in a controlled manner (an immobile target) from a standing position: Participant A puts his hands behind his back, participant B touches him with light blows to the stomach, shoulder and forehead. Participant A tries to keep his eyes open and gives feedback if the blow was too strong or missed.

Stage 2:
Controlled touching from a standing position (a moving target). Participant A puts his hands behind his back, participant B touches him with light blows to the stomach, shoulder and forehead. A tries to keep his eyes open and gives feedback if the blow was too strong or missed. The distance is constantly readjusted between the individual hits: Participant A takes two steps in any direction after each punch, participant B must follow.

Stage 3:
Both participants face each other in a boxing stance. Participant B touches his partner on the forehead with light blows. After participant A has felt the hit, he immediately counters by extending his arm towards participant B's forehead. This verifies whether participant B immediately goes back into cover/the defence position after the blow. After some time, swap roles.

Participant:
1 pair of boxing gloves

Stage 4:
Two punches are connected fluently: From a standing position, competitor B attempts to connect two punches fluently and touch his opponent with both. After the series of punches, competitor A counters by taking one or two steps.

Stage 5:
Multiple punches to a moving target: Competitor A keeps his hands in the basic position and moves slowly and constantly in all directions, but does not actively defend. Participant B tries to touch his opponent as often as possible in succession and connect several punches. From time to time (e.g. after approx. 8 hits), participant A counters to check whether participant B is covered. After some time, the roles are switched.

Stage 6:
Adjust the distance to a fast-moving target and control the (punch) hardness: Participant A is constantly on the move and tries to dodge the punches from participant B using footwork. The defender gives feedback if the punch was too strong. After some time, the roles are switched.

Participant:
1 pair of boxing gloves

In the terrain, the sports director distributes controls in advance, which the participants then run to individually or in small groups during the line run. For this purpose, the participants receive a control overview and a running map. The controls are run in numerical order. The line run can be carried out both as an exercise and as a competition. It is worth staggering both variants so that each participant/group has to work independently and cannot simply follow a forerunner/group (note the time intervals/difference to the first start time on the run card for evaluation purposes). The control overview with the running map can either be handed out together with the start signal or distributed to the runners/groups a certain time before the start. For the line run, each participant/group has a defined amount of time to find as many or as many controls as possible.

Variant I:
Prepare the control transfer point: The participants do not receive a map on which the controls are already marked, but must mark the controls themselves at a control transfer point (e.g. using coordinates, azimuth or measuring point method). The control sheets remain at the start even after the transfer. Before the participants set off on the course, the sports director checks the marked controls.

Variant II:
The control that must be approached first is marked on the map. In this variant, the participants can also be sent on the course without staggering, as they do not start in the same direction. However, this varies the running distances (rather unsuitable as a form of competition).

Orienteering controls (to be unplugged)
1 stopwatch

Participant/group:
1 orienteering map with control overview incl. designation (prepared in advance by the sports director)
1 running map form 30.063
1 bussole

Variation of the exercise:
Participant/group:
1 control transfer sheet
1 map scale
1 pencil and eraser

6 lines are defined. The runner whose turn it is rolls the dice. According to the result, he must run to the corresponding line and back again.

Variant:
With two dice. The lower number indicates the repetitions, the higher number the line.

Per group:
1-2 cubes

Both teams try to place the ball behind a defined goal line in the opponent's half of the pitch. A player may run with the ball until an opponent touches him on the back. He must then pass the ball to a team-mate (no throwing). This ball exchange must take place within three seconds, otherwise possession of the ball changes.

Variant:
The participants have one or more game ribbons tucked into their trousers (approx. 2/3 visible). If the ball carrier's ribbon is snatched, he must give the ball to the opposing team.

Participant:
1-3 game ribbons ►Variant

Two participants stand opposite each other on a line and grab each other by one hand or forearm. The participants try to pull their opponent over the line. Whoever crosses the line first loses.

Variant:
Whoever has to lift one leg off the ground first loses.

2 marking cones/caps (optional) ►Pitch marking

Post setup:
Caps mark the centre line.

The partner performs various loosening exercises by hand on the lying participant (swinging and shaking the limbs and making circular movements with them). Vary the speed and range of movement. Then change roles.

Participants lying on their back:

• Loosen leg left/right (swing/shake)
• Circular movements with leg left/right
• Bend and stretch leg left/right
• Loosen arm left/right in upright, horizontal and vertical position (swing/shake)

Participants lying on their stomach:

• Loosen leg left/right (swing/shake out)

No material required

The partner performs various loosening exercises (swinging and shaking the limbs and making circular movements with them) on the lying participant using the aid (e.g. power hose/skipping rope). Vary the speed and range of movement. Then change roles.

Participants lying on their back:

• Loosen leg left/right (swing/shake)
• Circular movements with leg left/right
• Loosen arm left/right in upright, horizontal and vertical position (swing/shake)

Participants lying on their stomach:

• Loosen leg left/right (swing/shake out)

Per group:
1 skipping rope / ribbon

The participants perform various loosening exercises (swinging and shaking the limbs and performing circular movements with them). Vary the speed and range of movement.

• Leg loosening left/right (swinging/shaking)
• Circular movements with leg left/right
• Bending and stretching leg left/right
• Arm loosening left/right in upright, horizontal and vertical position (swinging/shaking)

No material required

Stand facing each other in pairs, grasp hands and perform loose pushing and pulling movements. Circular movements can also be integrated in both directions or the arms can be moved up and down alternately.

No material required

Each participant moves freely in the hall/area to a specific song selection. The sports leader can specify various forms of movement (crossing legs, circling arms, crouching, touching the floor, hopping, hopping with one leg, etc.). As soon as the participants hear defined words in the song lyrics, they must perform a task announced by the sports leader:

• Air jump
• Sit on the floor briefly
• Touch the floor briefly with your stomach
• Greet/hug a partner

Example:

• Song choice: "dr Parkingmeter" by Mani Matter.
• Task:
  • "20gi" = push-up;
  • "Outo" = stretch jump;
  • "Poscht" = touch the floor with your back.

1 music system incl. music (specific song selection)

The participants perform massages on their partner using an aid (e.g. tennis ball or throwing object). During the circular movements with the ball, the circumference (small-large) and the pressure (no pressure on joints) are varied.

Participant in supine position, massage by partner of:

• Front thigh muscles
• Abdominal muscles
• Chest muscles
• Arms
  

Participant in prone position, massage by partner of:

• Calf muscles
• Back thigh muscles
• Buttock muscles
• Back muscles
• Arms

Per group:
1 tennis ball
1 soft mat

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 (possibly holding hands) or a single participant jumps onto the mat. After the jump, the next pair/participant is handed over, who in turn jumps onto the mat. The aim of mat jumping is to jump onto the soft mat in such a way that the mat is propelled as far forwards as possible. The winner is the group that gets their soft mat over a line or against a wall first. To ensure that the mat is not pushed further forwards when climbing down, the mat must always be left in the direction of the goal.

Per group:
1 soft mat (large)
1 marking cone/cap/painting stick

Multiple groups of 2 try to push down the mats of the opposing teams with their mats held above their heads. Which team can hold their mat up the longest?

Variant:
Replace larger groups and the small ones with large mats.

Per group:
1 soft mat (small)

4 soft mats (large) ►Variation of the exercise

The mats are spread out in the hall, with one half lying on top with the wrong side up. One team now tries to turn the "right" side of the mats up, while the other team takes care of the mats on the other side. After each reversed mat, the team must change places and move on to another mat. The winner is the team that is able to turn more mats to their side after a certain playing time.

Variant:
Additionally large soft mats can be used, which may result in more points.

x soft mats (small)

x soft mats (large) ► Variant

The participants run in a criss-cross pattern around the mats (committee tents) distributed around the hall (in the grounds). Various forms of movement (e.g. circling arms, crossing legs, etc.) are integrated independently or according to the instructions of the sports leader. As soon as the sports leader calls out a number, all participants spread out on the mats (committee tents) according to the number called out. Whoever remains performs an additional task (e.g. a strength exercise such as 5 push-ups). If the number of people on the mat does not correspond to the number specified by the sports leader, these participants must also perform the additional task (excess participants should therefore be sent away).

x Soft mats (small)/firing tents (for in the field)

Two teams try to push a mat over an agreed opponent's boundary. The point of attack is only the mat and not the opponent.

1 soft mat (large)

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.

Per group:
1 soft mat (large)
1 colouring stick

One participant at a time sits on the mat (slippery side of the mat at the bottom) and is pulled round a turn by another participant. Back at the starting position, the positions are switched and the participant who was sitting on the mat pulls the next participant in the group.
Which group was the first to transport all participants sitting on the mat around the turning point and back?

Per group:
1 soft mat (small)
2 colouring sticks

The participants sit under the mat (facing the target). The mat is now guided forwards with the help of the hands, whereby the sitting positions must always be changed (i.e. after the mat has passed over them, the participants must stand up and sit down again in front of the group in order to transport the mat further). Which group will be the first to cross the finish line?

Per group:
1 soft mat (small)

Two groups line up back to back along a line. The participants in both groups hook each other with their arms. The teams try to push each other over a previously agreed line.
