V-finger Back-roll (1/2 tennis balls)
Gross & fine motor-control
•
56s
THE WHAT:
A sister-task to the 'Tennis-ball/s on feet & back-roll' context. Both follow the same pattern, the backward-roll, but now the hands are removed from the equation as they are occupied by balancing either one or two tennis-balls in the 'V-finger' position. Note that the ball is balanced ON TOP of the V-finger base. RESIST the urge to "clamp" the balls between the fingers.
CONTEXTS FOR PRACTICE/"COMPLETION":
1. Back roll with 1 tennis ball (roll over BOTH shoulders)
2. Back roll with 2 tennis balls (roll over BOTH shoulders)
Once the tasks are completed, they are done and "in the bin.
