Rope slalom

Swaying seesaw

Physical: the Swaying Seesaw is a challenging training of balance, spatial awareness, and not least timing: to bounce each other up and down in this link is a balance quest that takes handholds, hence the supportive ropes. The skills trained here are fundamental for instance for navigating traffic safely.

Social-emotional: passing others on the bridge intensely trains cooperation and communication skills.

Rope screw
