Balancing Games

Balance a book/board on the learner’s head while they try to hold a spoon in the mouth and balance a potato or lime in it.

PURPOSE

This activity uses the unpredictable movements of a book/board/potato and re-educates the body to quickly react to the wobbly movements without having to think about these movements.

• Step 1

  Look for a book or a large board or a spoon with a lime or potato.

• Step 2

  Place the book/board on the learner’s head and try to let them balance.

• Step 3

  If they are able to balance it, add the spoon with the lime to their mouth to balance both together.

  (If they are unable to do both at the same time, only do them separately.)
