1. When the signal is given, each child, in turn behind the starting line, runs 10 meters to the first line, picks up an object, returns to the starting point, and sets the object down behind the starting line. Next he runs 20 meters to the second line, picks up the object, and ends by running across the finish line.
2. Objects must be placed past each of the lines.
3. The child is permitted two trials. The better of the two will be scored.

1. Each child, in turn, will stand both feet together behind a line and jump forward.

3. Each child will be given two trials. The better trial will be scored.

1. Each child will stand behind a line and throw a softball in the air overhanded, or underhanded, or side-armed. He or she is not to step over the line when he or she throws the ball. He or she should throw the ball in whichever way the ball will travel farthest.
2. Distance will be measured from the center front of the throwing circle. Distance counts, not accuracy.
3. The child will receive two trials. The best trial will be scored.

1. The child will turn the rope by themselves.
2. The child is to jump as many times as possible in succession for one 30 second period. If the child misses a jump during his or her allotted 30 seconds, he may start over in this 30 second period and try to improve his or her first number of jumps, as long as time remains.
3. When the child’s seconds have elapsed, the judges will count the best of the scores received in his 30 second period. The child will receive two trials with the best trial being scored.
4. Remember to record the highest number of consecutive jumps--not the total number of jumps.

4. Distance will be measured from the center front of the throwing line to where the point of the TurboJav first hits the ground.
