Kids will stand on one side of a line on the ground. They will start facing towards the line and this means they are "on the bank". When the coach yells out "in the river", the children will jump forward over the line meaning they are now "in the river". The coach will then yell out “on the bank”, and the kids have to jump backwards onto the other side of the line where they began. The children need to be landing with two feet planted on the ground, shoulder width apart and with bent knees in a stable position.

To challenge the students, the coach can add in an elimination round and enforce the following progressions/rules:

1) speed up the game - if students can't keep up with the speed they will be eliminated
2) if the student gets tricked by jumping to the wrong area they will be eliminated 
3) if incorrect jumping/landing technique is not used (e.g. stepping with one foot) - students will be eliminated
4) if students are losing their balance due to poor technique they will be eliminated. 

When students get eliminated they must still continue playing but will do it opposite the students that are left. Try and position yourself in front of a line so it is an easy transition for players being eliminated to continue playing on this line once they have been eliminated.
