Dryland Activities:
Dryland – Crab Scuttle
One person holds Crab Walk position, and the partner has to scuttle like a tiny twinkle toes fish through the crab’s feet.
Tiny twinkle toes fish = on your belly, using only your toes and hands to move, but staying as low as possible.
Dryland – Soft Pretzel into SL
Form small groups, or partners.
One person is the “soft pretzel.” Tangle up your arms and legs in a creative way while laying on the ground. Become a pretzel.
The partner needs to move the “pretzel’s” limbs and body into a streamline shape on their back making sure all key points are met:
– Locked thumb
– Squeezed Ears
– Head aiming straight
Also, keep body straight and toes together, legs together and torso straight.
