Inspired by the work of Gymnastics coach educator Keith Russell from Canada, we videotaped over 170 of the best games and activities for kids.
Most require no special equipment. The GOAL is to improve MOTOR and PHYSICAL FITNESS using your own body weight … while having FUN. 🙂
Tumbl Trak sponsored the videos. You can find them on the Tumbl Trak YouTube channel.
The first 22 – ORGANIZING kids – were just published. Click PLAY or watch those on YouTube.
MORE will be coming over the coming months.
Enjoy.
