Now let's move to a three-person exercise which not only teaches balance skills but also builds trust between the participants.  Have one of the three kids stand upright in the middle, either holding hands or interlocking elbows with the other two who let themselves lean as far as possible to each side.  Just make sure that no one lets go and that they carefully pull each other up to a vertical position at the same time when they are done.  We call this exercise the “Leaning Tower of Pisa,” and to make it competitive, see how long each group of three can stay on balance.
