Tape Vortex

Tape Vortex

Using the tape again mark out a complex vortex with the lines crossing and making shapes but always connecting.  Invite the children to walk along at the same time – they must not overtake each other and come off the tape.  This is great for navigating space and learning to take turns and prediction.

Adapt for younger children:

Encourage children to move along the grid at their pace.  Keep the grid simple, use coloured slightly thicker tape.

Extension:

Introduce more children to the space and change   the movement options, run, gallop, walk VERY slowly, hold hands with a friend etc.  Make the grid into shapes to develop mathematical skills, diamond, square rectangle, triangle etc.
