![]() ![]() If we keep the bar up higher its a great motivation to get kids to do different animal walks underneath the bar. Its great to see what their point A is and then you get to work on ways to help them plan how to move through smaller spaces. As it gets lower some kids will have no idea how to motor plan getting their body under the bar. ![]() Kids will try to walk under, crawl under, be a snake going under, or any other combination of ways to move. It is a great way to work on body awareness and is a step down from the masking tape maze we tried a while ago, however the kids will get more feedback into their body when they bump into this limbo bar. Obviously we can play limbo although we find a lot of the kids have a hard time with walking under without bumping it in the traditional limbo manner so while we are working up to that we have them just try to get from one side to the next without knocking the bar off. ![]() Here are a few of the uses we have found for the traditional limbo game: Now you don’t have to have the game to do these things and you can make your own modified limbo game but some of the kids do enjoy the music and effects that go along with this one (I personally prefer the sound off but its not me we’re trying to motivate!). It kind of sat around for a while but it recently got brought back out and into the rotation and I’m amazed at all the uses for it our therapists have found. Last year at some point I found a limbo game on sale at Target and bought it. ![]()
