Balance and coordination are two of the most important gross motor skills in a child's physical development. It allows children to participate in sports and physical activities, it reduces their risk of injury and improves their ability to perform everyday tasks. Poor development in these areas can cause physical limitations, which can lead to social issues - like social isolation or low self-esteem - due to their inability to keep up with their peers.
Fortunately, there are a number of ways to help your students develop balance and coordination. The 7 games and activities below combine physical development and fun to help reinforce these important skills.
1. Twister
This physical, 'twisted' game is a great way to promote both gross motor and social-emotional development. As students become entangled trying to reach certain colors, they'll also improve their strength, balance and hand-eye coordination. Playing Twister also helps them begin to understand personal space and body awareness. While your students will see a fun game, you'll see an opportunity to promote important physical and social skills.
2. Catch-a-Ball
Need a fun and challenging activity for students? Catch-a-Ball is the answer! This activity develops hand-eye coordination as well as improves focus and concentration. With a string attaching the plastic ball to the cup, students must aim to 'throw' and catch the ball in the cup. Time will fly as they enjoy this engaging activity.
3. Animal Yoga
Any student will jump at the chance to imitate their favorite animal. And with animal yoga, they can spring into action as they stretch, strut, waddle and stroll like a two- or four-legged creature. Like traditional yoga, this activity promotes balance, focus and coordination while adding in fun for students. Try these Body Poetry: Animal Action Cards and watch your classroom turn into a zoo - in a good way!
4. Bowling
Whether they're a master bowler or they bowl gutter balls, your students will enjoy this activity! Bowling requires you to move your body in a wide range of motion, promoting balance, coordination, flexibility and hand-eye coordination. It even improves your focus, as you concentrate on knocking down all of the pins, or bowling a strike. For this activity, you can take students to a local bowling alley or set up your with a 10-pin bowling set. Either way, they'll have fun while improving certain skills.
5. Hopscotch
This game is a long-time favorite, and it's also one of the best ways to develop dynamic balance, coordination and even rhythm. Throughout the game, students are hopping on one leg to make it through the hopscotch grid. They're also switching movement patterns quickly and frequently. And to play, all you need is a hopscotch grid (using chalk or tape) and a marker (like a bean bag or rock). This makes hopscotch an easy way to get students moving and to promote these skills.
6. Crab Walking
Crab walking is a simple, do-it-anywhere activity that practices important gross motor skills, like bilateral coordination, core stability and strength. Even better, your students will have fun imitating crabs! To do crab walk, have students sit on the floor - feet in front of them and arms behind them with fingers pointing forward. Then they will lift their hips off the floor and start 'walking' forward by moving alternating arms and legs (left hand - right foot, right hand - left foot). This easy activity is fitness disguised by fun!
7. Freeze
Can your students hold a static position for longer than 5, 10, or even 30 seconds? Playing a game of freeze will test their balance and body strength. It will also gauge their level of focus, as they concentrate on holding their body as still as a statue. Make it more challenging by asking them to hold the position for longer periods of time. To add on the fun, turn it into a competition, and reward the student who can hold their pose the longest!

TE_2021-02-065 points
1-Install DAEMON Tools Lite 10 (with blue logo)
2-Create a BD-ROM driver (it creates automatically a new one, at least in my pc), you can see your drivers at the bottom, and you can see it in 'my computer' as a CD driver
3-extract the rar file in another place (eg. your desktop)
4-you will see the 'Ballance' rar file
5-Go DAEMON Tools and click to your driver, it will want a file from you
6-Select that Ballance.rar
7-Go to your 'my computer' (now you can see ballance as a CD driver) and enter to your BD-ROM driver, not double click
8-Open setup folder and run the Setup.exe, game will setup...

Nice game but not installing
T2021-01-304 points
Extract the ISO
Mount it, don't use the startup.exe, go inside the folder 'Setup' and run the setup.exe to install it
when the game is installed, go this link for the games fix for win10 https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Ballance#Game_data
use the download and follow the dgvoodo instruction to fix the glitches for win10 (since this game is so old that running them on win10 without it will just show you polygons)
after you pasted the things dgvoodo instructed run the dgvoodocpl.exe (as Administrator. Important! or it won't save your settings) tinker the things you wanna tinker like resolution, anti-aliasing etc
then run the game (the 'Ballance/Bin/Player.exe' not the 'Ballance/startup.exe')
Have fun!
