Sara's Swing Challenge

Sara's Swing Challenge

A balance challenge for the oldest kindergarten children.

  • 3-5 years
  • Group size: 2+
  • Duration: 15 min
  • Alternative physical activities
  • Open space

For this exercise, you will need a swing set. Have the children try to stand up on the swing while it's completely still. See if they can manage to place one leg on each side of the swing, so they can hold onto one of the chains with both hands.

Once they feel they have good balance, they can try to stand without holding on with their hands.

Can two children manage to stand on the same swing at the same time, without holding onto each other?
