Functional "Sorry"

Physical activity idea:  Functional or Exercise "Sorry" Game for a small group. 1 hour+

Materials:  Sorry board game
                 Index cards with exercises and number of spaces to move forward

Directions:   The cards in the game are replaced by homemade cards that have an activity the person is to do and the number of spaces to move forward.  Examples are, "Walk to the water fountain and back," "Tell the group where you are from and stand to shake the persons had across from you."  You'll need at least 20 different activities or more.  Keep them simple.  The idea is to increase socialization and physical activity with simple requests while trying to win.  The person who makes it around the board with their pawns first wins.   This a fun and active game that gets people going without being boring.  

Other card examples:
Touch your toes 10 times
Do 10 arm circles
Do 10 leg raises
Do 10 knee raises
Tell the group what you want for dinner
