Self-control / Rabbit
Go when it’s time. Stop while you still can.
Self-control is starting on purpose and stopping before trouble. Speed is allowed only after the stop is reliable.
Crew mat chat
Say. Self-control is the stop. We will move toward a line and finish behind it.
Ask. Why is stopping a kind of strength?
Look. They stop behind the line instead of crashing into it.

Start and stop
Start and stop is a clear “go” and a stop that happens while they still can. Both feet finish behind the line. Many groups should fast-walk. A run is only for a clear lane, never toward another child.
- 1. Wait behind the start until the signal.
- 2. Move in an empty lane toward a wall or mat, not toward a person.
- 3. Slow down before the stop line. Do not brake on it.
- 4. Freeze with soft knees, both feet behind the line.
Keep it safe. Run only in a clear lane toward an empty wall or mat, never toward another child. Many groups should fast-walk instead of run.
Training mission
Move to a line and stop with both feet behind it.
- • Empty lane.
- • Both feet behind.
- • Slower start if they overshoot.
Ages 3–5. Walk and stop. Jogging is not required.
Ages 6–8. They stop, then take one step back to show they still own their feet.
Take it home
- 1. A towel is the fence. Fast-walk toward it and stop behind it.
- 2. Both feet stay off the towel.
- 3. If you step on it, walk back and go slower.
