• 2 objects (5 of each)
• masking tape or 9 hula hoops to make 3×3 grid

1. bring one object to the grid
2. try to line 3 in a row (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal)
3. run back to get another object

Yes

Change the environment: decrease the distance from start to grid to decrease physical demand

Change the task: cue the child on where in the grid to place an object to decrease cognitive demand

Change the environment: increase distance from start to grid to increase physical demand

Change the task: change means of travel from start to grid (e.g., running forwards, side-stepping to the right, side-stepping to the left, running backwards) to increase physical demand

• I will be able to race my friend by running back and forth without stopping for 4 out of 5 runs
• I can place 3 objects in a row within the hoops
