Courage / Frog
Bend, land, and try a better one.
Courage is a try they can still land, and another try after a messy one. It is not being fearless, and it is not making the jump bigger to prove something.
Crew mat chat
Say. Courage starts with the landing. We jump small so our feet can finish the job.
Ask. Can a small try still be brave?
Look. Knees bend on the landing and they can pause before the next jump.

Jump and land
Jump and land means leaving the floor on purpose and sticking the landing. A short jump with quiet feet beats a long jump that slides.
- 1. Bend the knees and swing the arms, then leave the floor.
- 2. Land on two feet with soft knees, on the floor or a mat.
- 3. Freeze. A stuck landing counts more than distance.
- 4. If the landing slides, the next jump gets smaller.
Keep it safe. Landings stay on the floor or a mat. No jumping from furniture or blocks.
Training mission
Jump in place and land with bent knees and quiet feet.
- • Knees bend.
- • Stick the landing.
- • Smaller is smarter if the sound is loud.
Ages 3–5. A step-and-stick onto a spot counts. Jumping is optional.
Ages 6–8. They rate their landing: loud, medium, or quiet, and choose one thing to soften.
Take it home
- 1. Jump in place on a rug and freeze when you land.
- 2. Make the next jump quieter.
- 3. If it feels too big, just bend and stand.
