This one is a simple activity that can be a powerful regulator. Grab a party blower and some army men, plastic figurines, or lego guys and set them up around the floor. Have one sibling be the destroyer, who gets to army crawl around and knock down the figures with his or her party horn, which the other sibling sets them up as quickly as possible. Then they swap positions. You can make it more physically challenging for the sibling setting them back up by saying they can only bend down on one foot to pick them up, or they must do one frog jump for each figure "rescued".

I am so happy that we managed to come to a second week. When I first entered this scene, I felt like this was not going to last long. I am both happy and surprised that we all managed to pull this off. I was really negative back in the day, and I hope that you can forgive me for that. I am always looking out for myself, and I forgot about the team that we are building, so congratulations to us.
