Goal of this exercise is improving

  • concentration

  • neurosensory perception

  • body tension

Children learn to trust the group and train their balance in the process; they have to coordinate with the group, otherwise the exercise will not work.

Instructions

  1. Pupils line up in a circle and shake hands.

  2. Starting with one pupil, they take turns counting, this number must be remembered.

  3. On the signal "Now go!", all those with an odd number slowly lean outwards without losing their balance or dropping their hands.

  4. After about 5 seconds, the tension is released, they return to the starting position and then do everything in the opposite direction.

  5. The aim is to find balance and confidence in oneself and the group.
