Players line up in two's within their lanes.
Ask the children to think of a fast car, then ask them to start their engines.
Players drive their cars (run) as fast as they can down the road (lane).
They then apply the brakes as they approach the wall.
First player walks back down the side of the lane, second player then sets off.
Repeat the process.
