Agility Package 21: Sea World

Quadrangle amusement net with membrane

Double pendulum seat

Physical: the swaying movement trains the sense of balance as well as core and arm muscles when holding tight.

Social-emotional: socializing and turn-taking when deciding who should sit here.

Rope slalom

Physical: agility, balance and coordination when climbing through link, swaying on ropes. Arm, leg and core muscles are strengthened. These are important for posture control and also sitting still.

Swaying seesaw
