Marble Knockdown

Materials Needed:

  • marbles

  • dominos

Directions:

  • set up dominos in a line, 1/4" to 1/2" apart

  • curl your index finger around the marble and shoot it with your thumb

  • try to knock down the dominos

Goals:

  • thumb isolation

  • separation of the two sides of the hand

  • sense of touch

Modifications:

  • change the amount of shoulder stability...less stability is needed if arms are leaning on the table or legs

  • more stability is required when holding the arms in space

  • keep ring and pinky curled into the palm of their hand
