👣 Phase 1: Ninja Prep & Ground Rules

1. Ninja Formation Zone:
   Gather your young space ninjas into a straight line at the starting zone. Everyone stands behind the Galaxy Launch Line.
   
2. Define the Sprint Course:
   
   • Mark a long, straight path using cones, chalk, space rocks, or astro-pylons.
     
   • Each ninja leap should be about 1 meter. Total distance to the finish line = about 25–30 meters, or 5 rounds of “5 forward, 4 back”.
     
3. Review the Pattern with the Ninjas:
   
   • “We go 5 LEAPS forward, then 4 LEAPS back.”
     
   • Repeat the pattern until we hit the finish line.
     
   • Then we reverse: “5 LEAPS BACKWARDS, then 4 LEAPS FORWARD.”
     
   • First ninja to return to the start = Galactic Champion! 🏁

🏃‍♂️ Phase 2: Launch Sequence – Forward Journey

1. Ready Position:
   Ninjas crouch low, one foot forward, ready like a coiled star-tiger.
   
2. Countdown Launch:
   Instructors or captains say: “3… 2… 1… BOOST!”
   
3. Leap 5 Forward:
   
   • Take 5 powerful, fast ninja leaps forward.
     
   • Each leap should be controlled and ninja-silent — no stomping!
     
   • Count out loud: “1, 2, 3, 4, 5!”
     
4. Quick Pivot:
   
   • Turn swiftly and gracefully — ninja spin!
     
   • Face the starting line again.
     
5. Leap 4 Back:
   
   • Leap 4 times back toward the start.
     
   • Stay in control, don’t wobble or fall.
     
   • “1, 2, 3, 4!”
     
6. Repeat Cycle:
   
   • Continue the 5-forward, 4-back cycle until you finally cross the Finish Line Meteor Marker.

🔄 Phase 3: Reverse Course – Return to Base

1. Touch the Finish Line:
   Tap the line or cone to activate the reverse course.
   You’re now in retro-thrust return mode!
   
2. Leap 5 Backwards:
   
   • Carefully leap 5 times backward.
     
   • Look over your shoulder or feel the space behind you.
     
   • “1, 2, 3, 4, 5!” — controlled, space-aware steps.
     
3. Turn Around:
   Face the original finish line.
   
4. Leap 4 Forwards:
   Return forward with 4 strong strides.
   “1, 2, 3, 4!”
   
5. Repeat Until Start:
   Continue this reverse pattern until you land exactly back on the Galaxy Launch Line!

🏆 Final Phase: Celebrate Like a Space Ninja

1. Space Bow:
   When ninjas complete the race, they strike a Space Ninja Pose and bow to the team.
   
2. Victory Dance Option:
   Do the Meteor Shuffle or the Comet Cartwheel — ninja freestyle!
   
3. Cool Down:
   Jog in place, then slow arm circles and deep breathing. Bring that heart rate down ninja-style.
