To the Finish Line!

Parent sets up a simple 'finish line' with books and runs with child toward it, then adds a ball to practice kicking while running. The agent coaches the parent to observe running coordination, directional control, and kicking accuracy — building leg strength and gross motor coordination through playful movement.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need

Open outdoor space with grass or soft surface. Two books placed 10-15 feet apart to create 'finish line.' Soft ball nearby. Child wearing comfortable clothes and shoes suitable for running.
