Up and Down Balloon I
A fun movement game where you trace body parts with a balloon while naming them, helping strengthen motor skills needed for self-dressing.
Opens a guided voice session in TogetherTime.
How it works
- 1
First, put the balloon on your head and say, 'Balloon on my head!' Then jump gently and move it down to your shoulders. Ask your child to copy you.
- 2
Now move the balloon down to your belly and knees, naming each part. Say, 'Now belly... now knees!' Encourage your child to say the names with you.
- 3
Go all the way down to the feet, then back up to the head, naming each part. Ask your child to lead the naming this time!

Let's do one more round, focusing on the lower body—waist to feet and back. Remind your child that these are the parts we use when pulling pants up and down.
