How to Use the Stretching Board Games and Cards:

You will need some of these easy-to-find items such as markers or tokens like foam shapes, mini erasers, coins, etc., and then use a coin to flip or pieces of paper cut into squares with numbers written on them to create simple paper dice.

To play the board games:

1. The child will flip a coin. If it lands on heads, move forward one space. If it lands on tails, move forward two spaces.
2. Complete the stretching activity shown on the space that you land on.
3. Use the 10 stretching pictures for the larger visual of each exercise.
