Discussion questions

Move and talk

  1. What do your knees do when you land so you don't go 'thud'?
  2. Which jump was the hardest to keep control on?
  3. Why do we land quietly and 'squishy' instead of stiff?

Quick work-a-long

Try it: Practice five soft landings -- jump up, land with bent knees, and freeze like a statue each time.
