Well, you might know this one already, but children like it. The whole class stands on one side of the mats, except one who stands in the middle (can be the sensei). The class has to run from one side to the other, without being caught by the middle student. The one caught will join in the middle and try to catch the remaining, and so forth, untill there are no students on the sides. Sensei should draw a line beyond which students in center cannot follow the others. This is a good exercice to teach them how to use tenkan and tai sabaki.

Cheers,
Edward
