Nought and crosses or 3 on line

 
 
2 teams of 3-5 players are made.
9 cones (placed as shown with good distance between the cones)
10 shirts or something likewise (in different colours for example 5 green and 5 red)

The team who gets 3 on line - vertical, horizontal or diagonal - has won.

All the players are placed behind a line.
Each team takes turns in sending a player off with a shirt in the team's colour.
The player places the shirt on top of a cone and returns.
The runner calls the new runner by clapping the hands of the next.
If no winner is found the teams switch start.
If a team wins it must choose if they want to start or be second.

The exercise has the physical aspect (the spurt) but also demands some mental activity under pressure.
The exercise can be made as a relay exercise.
One team starts and at the moment a shirt is placed, the second team starts and then the game is free which means that one of the teams - if it is fast enough - is able to place more shirts than the other team.
It also makes a tremendous mental pressure, as there is no time to spend thinking.
