This game is a simple way start a conversation about sanitation or lack of sanitation/latrines/toilets.

If you have music then let them dance around. Have cones lined up like it was a “around the chairs” dance (stop dance) – one cone less than players.
As soon as the music stops every player needs to find a cone and pretend to sit on it like they are sitting on a toilet.
Who ever does not get a “toilet” is out of the dance, and gets a question.
If they can answer the question the player can stay in the Dance or you can ask if they have done something for the world that day. That can also keep them in the dance.

More play

Area: Any size that you have can work.
You can add information about sanitation under each cone. so when they sit on the “toilet” you can ask one player to take the note and read a Toilet Story to everyone else. make the kids keep fake sitting while the note is being read, to keep a little body work going sitting in a squad.
Place cones throughout the field.
Players dribble around with a ball. When someone says "Stop" or "Freeze," everyone runs to a cone and leaves their ball.
The last player standing with a ball wins.
And add a "Ball" command: When you say "Ball," players must find a ball and continue dribbling until the next "Stop" or "Freeze."
Decide if the game ends when there are two players left or when a certain amount of time has passed.
Balls and cones (maybe music).
