Split your group into 2 even teams, Team one are Domes and Team two are Dishes. Scatter at least 10 more cones then participants you have on the floor both the right way up and upside down. The children then have a set space of time EG 3 minutes to attempt to turn all the cones to either domes or dishes dependant on their team. The winners are the team that have the most cones turned their way up by the end of the time.
This game warms the children up by getting them to move around each other to get to the unturned cones as well as have to bend down to turn over the cones and then stand back up again.
Ensure you leave enough space between the cones for the children to run around without being to crowded.
