Keep the body 86 HOW TO The Crab—From position 191,keeping the knees bent, push theknees and abdomen well forward,raise the arms above head and bendslowly backward until the handstouch the mat (Fig. 139). Walkforward or backward in this posi-tion. Return to the original position by reversingthe movement, or get the hands close to the feet,give a slight spring and throw the feet upward andbackward to the mat. Toss—Have two lines of at least four boysface each other. Those opposite take hold ofhands. The odd boy extends himself full lengthupon the arms of the others, his arms raisedabove his head. The others then, working to-gether, toss him in the air. If there are a goodmany boys, he can be given a start and floatedfrom one end of the line to the other in the air, bysuccessive tosses. Bean Bag—Provide something soft that canbe thrown easily a short distance. Have the play-ers form a circle, then count off by twos, that is,every other boy has the same number, one or two,as the case may be. Giv
