Have one less cone than players (5 players ideal). Position one player (the Piggy) in the center and arrange cones at equal distances surrounding this player. Get every other player to stand beside a cone (each cone is a Pig Pen). On the whistle each player has 5 seconds to run to a different Pen (cone). The Piggy in the center must try to run to a vacant Pen from the centre. Players cannot run back to the Pen they just vacated. The player who is left without a Pen now becomes the Piggy and the game runs again.
Works on decision making under pressure. Highlight where players work together to swap Pens. Praise opportunities that players spot and their reactions.
