Want to burn off energy and build muscles at the same time? Ten minutes of this will leave kids bright-eyed and asking for more?and leave adults so spent they feel almost, um, soft-shelled.

What You Need

• 2 heavy-ply yard trash bags
• Newspaper

• Twist-tie
• Tape

Instructions

1. Make a crab soccer ball by double-bagging heavy-ply yard trash bags. Stuff with balled newspaper, twist-tie closed, and tape the whole crosswise.

2. Simply pick teams and set up two goals (marked by anything: hats, old sneakers, etc.).

3. It's just like soccer, with the big exception that players can only run (make that scuttle) and kick in the crab position?in other words, in a sort of leaning-back race-car-driver stance, propped up on their arms and feet, with derriere just off the ground.

4. The team that scores the most goals wins.

Tips:

The field should be modest in size; if it is too large, kids will feel it in their burning tricep muscles.
