Social-Distancing Shadows

A Game

This one is a bit different. My sister and I would go for all of our daily walks together, one time we reversed our late afternoon walk which meant our shadows were in front of us and they were super long. We made a little game from this. We had to touch others using our shadows, because of their size we were still abiding by the Alert Level 4 rules. We named this game; social distancing shadows.

The game made us more aware of our physical position in relation to the sun and other people. In order to catch people with our shadows we had to move in unusual ways, we had to move off the path when our shadows shifted to one side, we had to run to catch people before we all entered the shadow of a building.

I would recommend this game to anyone. 4pm onwards seems to be the best time.
