Here are 8 simple ways for children to work on balance skills throughout the day: 1. Walk up and down stairs or curbs - each time you take a step you are balancing on one foot. 2. Ride a bicycle - this task requires postural control and balance 3. Ride a scooter - obviously three wheeled scooters are easier than two wheeled scooters 4. Walk on uneven terrain - walk on grass. Walk on uneven terrain with no shoes on for a bigger challenge i.e. sand. 5. Play a game of kickball or soccer. You need to stand on one foot to kick the ball. 6. Play follow the leader practicing walking fast, slow, backwards and sideways. 7. Pretend to be a tight-rope walker - Walk heel to toe along any line, try on your toes or your heels. 8. Walk along curbs or balance beams at the park.
