Simon says:

Set out the following areas with coloured cones

the Tee (White cones)

The Green (10 metres away from the Tee 9Green cones)

A water hazard (Blue cones)

A Bunker (Yellow cones)

the area between the green and the T is the fairway
Spread all the areas out. Then tell the children, Simon Says go to the Green or Simon says go to the Water hazard etc.
ask the children some questions about where they are standing, or make them make a big splash noise when jumping into the water hazard.

Divots!:

Scatter some cones (divots) across the area, some the right way up, and some upside down. Split the group into two teams - 'Hackers and Greenkeepers' - and spread them out across the area.

On the word 'Go' the Hackers run round turning the divots upside down and the Greenkeepers must turn them the right way up.
