".....once this game is working smoothly (which may take a while...!), step it up to the next level. Using the same partnering method, this time the pairs run in to the centre, find the timing that enables them to 'jump' together into the air, and 'high five', suspended, in mid air before landing and running to the opposite side. Each subsequent pair needs to start as the pair before them have landed in the centre to keep a good flow.
When the timing is right there will be a lovely resounding 'SMACK' in the air, and the pairs will seem to hang suspended for a moment before they land. The group need to think in terms of jumping 'UP', not 'AT'!.....
