Buzz Lightyear's Vortex Glide

It's time to become a space ranger and go "to infinity and beyond!" How far can you glide through the vortex?

Players: 2 or more
Where to play? Swimming pool

How to play

  1. You'll need to play this game in a swimming pool. Remember, children playing in water should be supervised by an adult at all times. You'll need a hoop or to make one from a pool noodle.


  2. Space rangers start in the water with their backs to the side of the pool, one hand holding on to the pool edge.


  3. Adults stand at an appropriate distance from the pool edge and hold the hoop either halfway above the water or fully under the water.


  4. Rangers shout "To infinity and beyond!", push off the wall with their feet and glide through the "vortex" (the hoop or noodle) in a streamlined position, turning on their back to activate their wings.


  5. On the next go, move the vortex further away – how far can you glide?
