A table that needs to be set
Directions:
Tell your child that you are going to have a circus in your home or yard. Ask if he would like to be an acrobat with you. If you have a hard surface in your home, put down a quilted blanket or folded towels to cushion the floor.
Show your child an "acrobatic" trick to perform, such as balancing on one leg, or doing a somersault. Ask your child to try the trick, too. If he has trouble, try to break the task down into steps and coach him through the steps he needs to take.
Ask your child to think of some other acrobatic tricks you can perform. Let him teach the tricks to you, and perform them together!
