Horizontal rope
Physical
the stiff, bouncy rope is great for walking in arms or hanging in knees.
Social-Emotional
children cooperate, help each other and take turns.
The Rope Bridge, with its classic appeal, keeps children practising tight rope walks again and again. The lower rope can be balanced on with or without the upper rope support. Learning and practising how to balance on different surfaces is fundamental for the mastery of all other motor skills. The sense of balance makes it possible for children to walk, to run – and to avoid falling, when they trip over. Regaining balance is crucial for feeling confident in physical activity as well as when sitting still, supporting the ability to concentrate and learn. The Rope Bridge trains balance, and supports balancing acts with others. The social-emotional skills of turn-taking, cooperation and negotiation are built up when passing each other on the tight rope, avoiding to have to step down.

Play Value
Play value is the value gained from play, the value that makes the child “want” or developmentally “need” to undertake the activity and thus gives the play item holding power. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.
Balancing ropes
Physical
holding onto the swaying upper rope when balancing on the swaying lower rope makes excellent training of the sense of balance and trunk muscles. These abilities are fundamental for being able to sit still.
Social-Emotional
there is room for more than one and cooperating with friends on walking over the swaying ropes is a true cooperation task that requires teamwork and tolerance.
