Large climbing net

Physical: the connected nets make the climbers feel the movements of the other climbers, adding a dimension of fun and demanding concentration when holding tight to the rope. All muscle groups are trained, as well as cross coordination.

Social-emotional: the climbers’ movements affect the other climbers. Room for breaks for many and support cooperation and turn-taking skills.

Cognitive: cause and effect understanding is supported by the bouncing effect of the movement of others.

Height

Social-emotional: children develop courage and self-regulation when being up high. This positively affects self-confidence.

Fireman's pole

Physical: coordination is supported when going down, as well as arm and core muscles. Landing strengthens bone density, which is built for life in early childhood.

Social-emotional: turn-taking and risk-taking.

Ropes with rubber discs

Physical: children develop cross-body coordination and muscle strength when stepping onto the disc and climbing the rope. Their sense of balance is trained when swaying gently. The sense of balance is important for instance for being able to sit still.

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

Rocking tube

Physical: muscle strength and coordination when climbing up, holding tight. Balance when gliding down.

Coconut rope

Physical: balance and coordination is supported when walking the swaying rope. A good sense of balance transfers to other skills such as sitting still on a chair. Bone density is developed when jumping off.

Social-emotional: children swaying together on the rope experience their own and others’ movements. This spurs cooperation and consideration, e.g. when passing others on the rope.

Play shell

Physical: swaying movement supports the sense of balance.

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

Rope ladder and rope access
