Cross the creek
Lay stones across the creek to build a bridge, then lead your buddy safely over to the other side.
What it works on
Plan the bridge first, then balance your way across.
Motor planning, sequencing and balance: deciding the order of the stones and then carrying it out step by step is the same thinking behind following a multi-step routine.
For players who rush in without a plan, or wobble on uneven footing. Finish with the buddy following across for a turn-taking moment: your go, then theirs.
