Goodness me this is awful BUT ideal for absolute beginners as it includes all the basic steps a simple tag plus change of wall. And of course perfect timing for the dreaded vacation that is looming. I cannot wait to see their faces when I include this lol.

The kick after the 1/4 turn is kick the right foot, not the left.
