I play some run and slap games with the kids, having them go touch what i say and race back, BUT with younger kids I have them crawl so we don't have violent crashes.

That might be something good for fetch above if your walkers get to much velocity built up.

I also agree about the competiton point. Don't worry about winners and losers. The kids just enjoy doing something. Young kids 2-4 don't need to win and are just sad when they lose.

Crawling is a great idea!!!

Oh, and a story to add to the comment "preschoolers don't need to win": Once I was playing concentration with a small group of kids and one boy kept finding matches and giving his points to the kids who didn't have any. That's when I started thinking that competitiveness is one learned behaviour that I didn't really want to teach.

Cheers.
