Stick limbo
How low can you go? A wiggly limbo game under a long stick.
*Illustrative age guidance. Your child's development and circumstances matter more than a number.
A tiny plan for your day
Estimated time: 1 min to set up · 8 min to play · 1 min to tidy. It's fine to stop early.
Before you start
What you’ll need
- A long, light, smooth stick
- Two people to hold it, or two low branches to rest it on
Let's begin
Five simple steps
That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.
Hold the stick at chest height.
Walk under it, leaning backwards. No touching!
Lower the stick a little each round.
Try crawling or slithering when it gets very low.
Cheer every wiggle!
All done!
That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
