Description
Tightrope walking
Set up two parallel ropes on the floor about one metre apart.
- Ask the children to walk heel to toes between the two ropes without stepping on the ropes.
- Gradually bring the ropes closer together to make it harder.
- Ask them to repeat the activity trying to keep a beanbag on their heads.
- Repeat the activities walking along tile lines, wooden floor/laminate lines or a chalked line or length of tape. Get them to try different ways of moving along the line and staying on it, e.g. lifting their knees higher, walking backwards, taking big strides.
