POINTS

In this game, each body part that can support body weight counts as a point. Points include hands, fingers, toes, buttocks, heels, elbows, knees, and feet. To introduce the game, have the children try to balance on two specific points with you. Then have them try their own ideas. Have them try different two-point balancing, then one-point balancing, then three-point balancing. Try challenging them to discover the most difficult ways to balance. At an advanced level challenge them to change from three points to two points without falling, four to two, etc.
