For this activity, you’ll need an inflated balloon.
Directions:
- Stand shoulder to shoulder and place the balloon between the shoulders and walk to the designated finish line and back to the start.
- Facing each other holding the balloon between the left palms, use a slide step with the feet for traveling to the designated finish line and back to the start.
- Stand back-to-back with the balloon between the backs; use a slide step with the feet to move to the designated finish line and back to the start.
- Balance the balloon on a paper plate, arm extended to the front and walk to the designated finish line and back to the start.
- Repeat No. 4 but walk backwards.
- Place the balloon on the floor and use the feet to push/roll the balloon to the finish line, pick up the balloon and run back.
