Coach Peabody, counting

Walk heel to toe along a line without stepping off it.

Walk the line

Hold still and aim · ages 4 to 14 · Counted in metres · 🤫 Quiet

How to do it

  1. Heel right up against the toes in front.
  2. Look at the end of the line, not at your feet.
  3. Slow is good. Wobbling is allowed.
  • Chalk or tape
  • A room you can take three steps across.

Watch out for this

Look at where the line ends. Your feet already know.
Staring down at your feet.

Make it fit you

The right version is the hardest one you can still do properly. That is not a kindness, it is how this works.

Easier

  • Walk along the line normally, not heel to toe.

Harder

  • Walk it backwards, or carry a cup of water.

Sitting down? Trace the line with one foot while you sit, heel to toe.
