Vaulting Seats

Category: MISCELLANEOUS ACTIVE GAMES





_10 to 60 players._

_Schoolroom._

This game is played the same as Changing Seats, except that the pupils
vault over the seats instead of sitting in them. The game may be
played anywhere above the third year.

The teacher gives the order "Right, jump!" whereupon all of the pupils
jump over their seats toward the right-hand side of the room. The row
that is displaced, now standing in the right-hand aisle, runs at once
around the room to the left-hand aisle. The teacher then repeats her
command. The directions for the vaulting should be varied and
unexpected, several being given to the right, then several to the
left, etc.

The method of vaulting is to place one hand on the edge of the
desk at the back of the seat to be vaulted over, and one hand
on the desk that goes with the seat to be vaulted over. The
hand should preferably be placed halfway between the two
aisles, to assist both the jump and the landing. While placing
the hands, pupils should crouch in a position ready to spring,
with the heels raised, knees spread outward, and back straight
and erect. They should land in the same position, as the bend
of the ankle, knee, and hip joints breaks the jar of landing.
