Five Tower XL

Net bridge, inclined

Physical: walking the open net up or downwards develops balance, spatial awareness and cross coordination.

Social-emotional: interaction with children outside, socializing. Cooperation and consideration, e.g. when passing others.

Tower net

Physical: the children have a fast access up the horizontal rungs, and a slower climb up the sloping rungs. The net can be climbed from both sides, levelling the challenge of accessing the platform. Cross coordination and sense of space is supported, as well as arm and leg muscles.

Social-emotional: the two-sided net allows for social interaction. The spaciousness invites socializing.

Cognitive: logical thinking and planning when planning how best to enter the platform from the net.

Ring game

Social-emotional: cooperating from both sides on running rings up and down trains turn-taking and cooperation skills.

Cognitive: figuring out how to turn the ring to make it fit the holes and move up or down trains logical skills.

Creative: leaving rings in new positions leaves a mark in the playground.

Climbing pole

Physical: cross coordination and muscle strength are trained.

Social-emotional: turn-taking and cooperation.

Plank bridge

Physical: balancing across the plank develops the vestibular system as well as cross coordination.

Social-emotional: passing other children takes co-operation and teaches children turn-taking skills.

Climbing net

Physical: children develop cross-body coordination and muscle strength when climbing. The big meshes allow for climbing and crawling through, supporting proprioception and spatial awareness.

Social-emotional: the big meshes allow for more children to sit together and talk.

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.

Pipe ladder

Physical: cross coordination and eye-hand coordination are supported when children climb the ladder. The climbing also supports leg and arm muscles.

Social-emotional: learning about turn taking and cooperation.

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.
