Game Description:
A quick and easy way to practice dynamic balance!
Objective:
To keep your shell on your back while crawling down the snail trail
Game Rules:
Each child gets a "shell" to balance on their back. They must try to crawl through and around all obstacles on the snail trail that the adult has set up without losing their shell.
Saftey Considerations:
Limit the number of children going through the obstacles at once
Adaptations (optional):
With younger or less skilled children let them simply crawl and balance their shell, without having to go through any obstacles.
