Shoe Gates: set-up G

Two shoe gates 1 m wide; pass through the gate between you, then the grown-up moves the other gate and calls Find it!

Set up

  • Make two gates from shoes, 1 m wide.
  • Stand facing your child with a gate between you.

Garden or park.

How to play

  • Your child passes through the gate to you. You pass back.
  • Move the other gate somewhere new and call Find it!
  • Your child passes through that gate next.

Make it easier

Make it harder

  • Make the gates narrower.

Three things to say

  • Inside of the foot, standing foot pointing at the gate.

Colts habit

Work hard: one more gate in a row.

Both feet

Every other pass with the practice foot.

Heads up

Find the gate before you pass.

Safety: Use soft shoes, not hard boots, as gate markers.

Gates in a row. Last time and this time. Only ever compared with your own earlier go, never with anyone else. Saved on this device only.
