• 1 ball for each partner team (such as a whiffleball, foam ball, etc.)
• Tic-Tac-Toe board for each partner team (you can make one with painters tape on the floor and random objects for Tic-Tac-Toe pieces)
• *Optional: yoga mats (one for each participant)

How to do a plank: Get on the floor in a push-up position. Keep your body straight and rigid with your head relaxed and looking at the floor. Keep your arms extended straight below your shoulders and be sure not to let your hips droop or bend.

*Modification: From plank position, let your knees bend to the ground to support your body instead of being supported by your toes.
