The Keep-It-Up Challenge
The Keep-It-Up Challenge is an engaging activity where children must keep a bean bag scarf in the air for as long as possible without letting it touch the ground. It can be played individually or in pairs, with partners passing the scarf back and forth to extend the challenge. This simple game encourages focus, timing, hand-eye coordination, and gentle gross motor control, as players must track the scarfβs movement and adjust their actions to keep it aloft. Variations can include counting how many hits a player can achieve, adding multiple scarves for an extra challenge, or introducing fun rules such as only using one hand or alternating hands, making it a versatile and enjoyable activity for classrooms, PE sessions, or backyard play.
