Daily Idea #264: 1 Square (Not 4)

By now you probably all realize I am all about simplicity. The easier something is to set up, the more likely it is we will actually do an activity and then it keeps us all busy (plus that means super quick clean up).

So, for today’s daily idea, we are playing 1 square instead of 4 square. Tape a large square/rectangle on the ground (about 2 feet by 2 feet or 2 feet by 3 feet). Have your child stand inside the square and see how many times they can bounce a pinging ball or a bouncy ball inside the square without it touching anywhere outside of the taped shape. Next have them stand outside the square and see how many times in a row they can bounce the ball in the square if they are outside of the square.

You can come up with all different combinations of bouncing the ball inside or outside the square — Have fun!
