Ball Wall Walks are a fantastic gross motor activity for building upper body and lower body strength, bilateral coordination, and motor planning skills.
This activity involves creating geometric patterns on a wall using masking tape. Your child is encouraged to move a ball along the tape lines using both hands. As they navigate different patterns, such as going up and down or side to side, they engage various groups of muscles and motor planning skills.
This activity also provides strong deep pressure sensory input and considers various gross motor functional skills to complete the activity. This activity can be customised by changing the layout and using different ball weights. This makes it a versatile and adaptable exercise for your child’s specific goals and interests.
