How to play
Before you start: Stick a long straight line of tape down the floor, then a zigzag and a curve off the end of it.
Walk the line heel to toe, arms out, wobbling for effect.
Let them walk it. Feet stay on the tape.
Try it sideways, then backward, then on tiptoe.
Balance a soft toy on their head and walk it again.
Follow the zigzag and the curve to the end.
What it helps with
Make it different next time
- Stop in the middle and stand on one foot for a count of five.
- Carry a spoon with a pom-pom on it along the beam.
Cleanup: Peel the tape up together.
