The game keeps going until someone has to put their feet down on the floor.

Fun warm up game #2: make a line 2-3 lines with all people in class. Have each person lay flat on the floor spaced apart (enough to fit another person between). On the sound of go, the first person in the line gets up and does a burpee and then jumps over the next person laying flat and keeps doing burpees and jumping over until he/she gets to the end of the line.
