Activities

• Jiu Jitsu Moves

  Practice some fun and easy Jiu Jitsu moves. You can pretend to be a ninja and try rolling, tumbling, and gentle grappling with a soft mat or pillow.

  Spend some time on the piano. Play simple songs or make up your own tunes. You can even tap out the rhythm of the Jiu Jitsu moves you learned!

• Water Fun

  If it's safe, splash around in a pool or bathtub. You can pretend to be swimming like a fish or diving like a dolphin. Remember to practice safety first!
