In The Burrow Game, players move around the court until a signal is given—then they must quickly occupy a “burrow” (usually a spot, cone, or player). The one left without a burrow becomes the next caller. This game enhances perception, speed, and coordination in chaos, serving as a playful warm-up or group energizer.
