Weighted beanbags are used to teach the basic skills of rhythm and patterns. If a child cannot catch, the exercises can be adapted to the level appropriate for that child. A balance board is sometimes used with the skills, depending on the needs of the student.
-
Skills are introduced as individual exercises. When students are competent at this level, they are introduced to partner exercises.
-
Students enjoy working on the ball skills. Besides working on visual & auditory skills, balance, and coordination, they gain a sense of pride and achievement as they master each skill and advance to the next higher level.
-
As students become experienced with a particular skill, they are sometimes asked to assist other students in learning that skill. This also improves their skills, as well as their confidence.
