Medite with add-ons

Membrane path

Physical: a faster way up, due to the extra support of the membrane.

Social-emotional: a meeting path with points for retreat from the rope landscape.

Height

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

Twisted net

Physical: the big, twisted meshes allow for varied climbing and crawling through, supporting the development of proprioception, spatial awareness, cross coordination, and muscle strength.

Social-emotional: the partly horizontal meshes allow more children to sit together and talk.

Slide

Physical: sliding develops spatial awareness and a sense of balance. Furthermore, the core muscles are trained when sitting upright going down.

Social-emotional: empathy stimulated by turn-taking.

Rope with rubber disc

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.

Inclined net

Physical: the inclined net supports the upward climbing movement of the body, training cross-body coordination and muscle strength.

Social-emotional: the meshes allow for more children being seated or lying together, sharing.

Connected nets

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, so consideration and turn-taking is supported.

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