Begin by taping a large V on the ground with painters tape. Have the children start at the narrow end of the V and jump with both feet along the V, the jump will get progressively harder as they go down the V. Make sure you do not make the V too wide or narrow. This should be challenging but not too difficult. Ask the kids to see how far they can get down the V.
