You never know, you might be raising a long-jump champion. So get some practice in with this fun activity.
- Chalk
- Sidewalk
- Tape measure
- Sneakers
Using your chalk, you or your kid should draw a 10-foot line on the sidewalk.
Break the line into 1-foot increments and label them 1 through 10.
Give your child challenges. "Hop to number 2. Take a step to number 4. Jump back to number 3." Make up your own challenges.
You and your kid should take turns being the Hopper and the Caller. Work off those fries you had for lunch.
If your child can reach the 10-foot mark in a single leap, notify the Olympics track and field coach, pronto.
