Movement / Play
A Fun way to be courageous is trying to balance in different ways. If you need an adult to hold one hand at first that is okay. Then try to balance without holding on. Try again on a line of tape or a line drawn with chalk. Add Bean bags, soft objects, or books to balance on your head. Walk sideways. Have fun and keep trying.
