Area of asphalt measuring
Paint roller and tray
approximately 5.6m x 10m,

Chalk
• Resene Membrane Roofing Primer
Duct tape
• Resene Tennis Court Coating (green)
Large set square
• Tape measure
Low tack masking tape
To get the look:
Step one
Mask off a rectangle
measuring 5.6m x 10m
using duct tape, as shown.
Step two
Apply one coat of Resene
Membrane Roofing Primer
to the masked off area and
allow to dry.
Step three
Measure and mark 400mm
intervals on the duct tape
around the four edges of
the masked off area, as
shown.
Step four
Using our design and these
measurements as a guide,
paint in the red squares
with two coats of Resene
Bright Red, allowing two
hours for each coat to
dry. Overlap the marks by
approx 50mm, as shown
(these will be masked and
painted over with adjoining
colours).
When applying Resene
Tennis Court Coating,
brush or roller the first
coat in one direction, and
the second coat across
in the other direction to
get even coverage.
Other ideas for play:
If bigger children or
teens are going to
be playing the game
enlarge the template
squares to 600mm,
making the playing area
8.4m x 15m.
Step five
Repeat step 4 painting the
yellow squares with two
coats of Resene Fizz and
the blue squares with two
coats of Resene Sports Star.
Allow two hours for each
coat to dry.
Step six
Measure, mark and mask
the remaining squares,
painting the orange squares
with Resene Outrageous,
the green squares with
Resene Top Secret, the indigo
squares with Resene Surfs
Up and the violet squares
with Resene Gobstopper.
Remove any masking tape
before the second coat of
each colour has dried.

Step seven
Again, using our design as
a guide, measure, mark and
mask the remaining strips
and inner rectangles, as
shown.
Step eight
Using a brush for the
smaller areas and a roller
for the larger areas, apply
one coat of Resene Tennis
Court Coating to the
masked off areas and allow
three hours to dry. Apply a
second coat and remove
the masking tape and duct
tape before the second coat
has dried. Allow 24 hours
before using.

Build a rainbow!!
Ground games with Mark Rayner – 7
Number of players:
2 teams of up to 30
Additional
equipment:
#7a
Whistle
How to play:
A player (or teacher) is selected
to act as referee. Each team
stands in their rectangular court
and when the referee blows
the whistle, the players run
randomly around the court. The
whistle is blown a second time
and each player has to run to
their nearest coloured square.
The referee chooses one person
from each team who is standing
on a red square and when the
whistle is blown a third time,
each of these players has to
run and ‘tag’ a team member
who is standing on an orange
square, and then they go and
stand on the larger red square.
The orange player then ‘tags’
a yellow player and the game
continues until the colours
of the rainbow are complete.
The player who is violet, then
tags another red player and
so on. The winning team is the
one that has completed most
rainbows (or has fewest players
left in play).
