MATERIALS
- A wooden or bamboo lattice frame suspended by rope through a pulley or hand line
- Small toys, candies, or treats tied to the frame
HOW TO PLAY
1
Hang the lattice frame loaded with treats above the play area, low enough for kids to reach up toward it.
2
An adult holds the rope and lowers the frame within jumping reach of the children.
3
As soon as hands reach up to grab, the adult quickly raises the frame just out of reach, building excitement.
4
The frame is lowered and raised repeatedly, letting different children grab a treat each time it dips low enough.
5
Play continues, lowering the frame fully near the end, until every treat has been claimed.
