Hope everyone had a restful weekend! For today’s Movement Monday activity, blow up a balloon and play some “balloon volleyball” – see how long you can keep it up in the air! Play one on one, or make it a family affair. This activity addresses upper arm strengthening, midline crossing, eye hand coordination, and balance.

If you don’t have a balloon on hand, grab any type of ball and practice tossing and catching. Change it up by using one hand, both hands, or alternating hands.
