How to try it
Grown-ups and toddlers hold the edges of a light flat sheet. Lift it high and bring it down slowly, then drop a soft ball in the middle and shake together to make it bounce. Let the children take turns walking underneath, only while the grown-ups hold all the edges up high.
Materials
- Light flat sheet
- Soft ball
Safety note
Use a light sheet, keep it from settling over a child's face, and clear the floor of toys.

Why it matters
Lifting one sheet only works when everyone moves at once, which gives toddlers an early feel for doing something as a group.
