Back It Up

(for ages 7+)

Ingredients:

  • Carpeted area or an area with a soft mat

Prep Time:

  • None

Recipe for Fun!

Divide the group into pairs. Have each pair stand back-to-back. Now, keeping their backs close together, have each pair try to sit on the floor without using their hands! Slow and steady is the key to this skill. Once they’ve all sat down, have the pairs try to stand back up, again without using their hands. The trick to standing is to keep their backs together and their feet tucked under their bottoms. First pair to stand wins.
