There's a great Aiki game you can play with the kids. Aptly called enemy/defender. It's pretty easy to play and burns a lot of energy. Basically, you get gather everyone together in a given space. Everyone is told to pick an "enemy", but keep it to yourself. Then, everyone is told to pick a different person as their "defender". Again, keep that information to oneself. When you say GO, everyone has to position their defender between them and their enemy. This will involve lots of running around and it can become rather obvious who is a favorite defender. You can re-set a number of times to pick a different enemy/defender. We usually play 3 or 4 sets or when people get too tired. Have fun!
