Kendama
Students in the Squared Away year work on Kendama skills. Here are some of the reasons Kendama is included in our classroom:
1. Learning Kendama skills can help students with their reading abilities because both skills require the same use of peripheral tracking and eye tracking.
2. Helps with hand-eye coordination.
3. It's fun!
4. Develops self-confidence.
5. Develops patience and persistence in learning to solve problems.
6. Kendama is a great combination of physical motor activity, brain stimulation, joy of success, and visual stimulation.
7. Kendama builds focus ability through regular practice and a built-in rewards system.
