Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Form into pairs, and to stand approx 60cm apart, measured from toe to toe.
  2. Each person places their feet together, bends their knees, and teeters on the balls of their feet.
  3. Once balanced, each person will raise their hands into the ‘bumpers-up‘ position.
  4. The goal for each person is to bring their partner ‘off-balance.’

      now thinking of how to use the different elements as metaphors: balance, hands, feet, strategy, off balance, goals…..

      You’re always thinking JeWElle. I like this perspective. Indeed it could be applied to all activities.
