Hands and Feet Path
A trail of printed tiles taped to the floor: two feet together means jump, one foot means balance, two hands mean lean forward on all fours. Your child follows the path back and forth, the layout changes, and soon they are the one designing it.

Step by step
- Print out 8 to 10 sheets of hands and feet in colour.
- Lay them out on the floor in a sequence: two feet to jump, one foot to balance, two hands to lean down on all fours.
- Walk through it yourself once, slowly, saying the moves out loud ("Two feet: jump!").
- Let your child give it a go at their own pace, back and forth. Help them decode the symbols, but let their body do the work.
- Change the order of the sheets, widen the gaps, or add criss-cross moves.
- Let them design the path for you to follow.
