exerciseFun games to get clients involved in?

I want to incorporate some fun activities or games into my sessions, maybe at the end. Here are a couple I have come up with so far:
> Saucer cone game - I would place a number of saucer cones on the ground face up (20-30) and they have to turn all of them upside down while I chase after them turning the saucer cones back up right (after giving them a small head start of course). I'll time it and see how many they can get upside down in the allotted time.
> Capture the flag (for two clients but I could be involved if only one client) - one client has two 'flags' attached their shorts/trousers pockets, the other has a base and has to capture a flag from the other person one at a time and take it back to their base. An area is marked out to stop them legging it ha. I time it to see who can capture both flags the quickest.
Anyone else got any cool ideas similar to the above ones?

First of all, great idea! As a personal trainer I never did anything like this - but it did remind me of something. As a teenager I was a 400m runner and a high jumper. On Sunday's, we had a grueling training session which consisted of of powerlifting, stretching, yoga, plyometrics and jump training. For fun however, we always finished with a game of basketball, so I totally get your idea.
What about things like dodge ball? It incorporates a lot of twisting, acceleration, movement etc?
