3 or more

• 1 balloon per pair

• the children lie on their stomachs in a circle, with their heads facing the center (ensure there is enough room in the center for the ball to move)
• each player must push the beach ball away and towards someone else in the circle
• instruct participants to use one or two hands depending on their objective
• each child tries to ensure the “sticky marshmallow” doesn’t touch the top of their head or face to avoid being covered with a sticky mess

Change the environment: have the children lie on their stomachs closer to each other to decrease physical demand

Change the equipment: have the child complete the activity with more children to increase social demand

• the child is able to stop the ball and push it away 3 out of 5 times, using only their left hand
• I can push the ball away from me
