Épée

As a routine legwork, where pupils are placed in a row in front of the coach. When the coach shows the back of the hand to the the kids, it is a fencing match and children must do the opposite of the coach: e.g. coach makes marche – the kids must do rompre and vice versa. When the coach shows the palms to the kids, this is a mirror image and children must therefore do the same thing as the coach: e.g. trainer do rompre – the children do rompre.

Variation

Make the game into a competition where you drop out of the game or get “punishment” for example pushups if you go the wrong way, or respond too late.
