Walk The Line
A beautiful, simple active-ity that focuses on your own balance strengths while working together.
This is a Montessori method teaching tool; a way of bringing children to the center of the room to start the day.
We always set out painters tape in the shape of a square (children can each have their own shape to walk around, or work on one large shape). You can set the 'walk' to gentle music and get creative with your steps; balancing a tray, balancing a tray with objects, skipping, hopping, tiptoeing!...
Even the youngest members easily figure out what is happening and often join in the fun.
