Outdoor Play : Balance Beam
Grab some scrap wood from the garage or shop and lay out in the lawn.
[If you have clean boards, bring it inside for an indoor walk the plank activity.]
Add corners where you like, make a maze if you please.
Even more simple: the activity.
Walk the line!
Walk your way across the boards, and learn a very important physical skill.
Balance.
What do you think?

Learning to balance on wood blocks takes practice and is a great way to learn. We set up a balance beam last week during our Circus week. One balance beam was wood blocks; another was a tape line on the floor. It took much more work and concentration on the block beam.
My kids like to make teeter totters out of our extra boards. The balance beam maze idea looks like fun.
This is going on our To-Do Immediately list. I like the wood blocks idea, too, Brenna, in case I can't find the right types of boards!
We do an indoor balance beam/walking path with those colored foam craft squares you can buy at most grocery, drug, and craft stores.
