The Fling It is a wonderfull piece of equipment to add to your practice and can be used in many different ways. It is very effective for use in groups and can be used individually in an adapted manner. When using the Fling It one needs to do an activity analysis as well as your aims for treatment session and then use some of these ideas accordingly. One is tapping into various sensory systems namely, vestibular, proprioceptive, tactile, visual and auditory and you need to analyze which system was used. Ask the children which colour calms or alerts them. Observe how they react with the different methods of moving under the Fling It.
Groups (minimum 4 people) Everyone holds on the sides and moves the Fling it up and down. As the Fling It is in the air:
- 2 opposite participants run under the tunnel and swop positions
- as above but hop on 1 leg
- as above but skip
- as above but crawl
- make up your own movements or ask the children to
Children sit under the Fling it:
- others move it up and down and then hold it still ask them they prefer it when the Fling It was moving or still
- make a house or hang the Fling It up and do an activity underneath.
- Moving Fling It up and down the children move onto the next handles without loosing contact with the Fling It.
- Walk in one direction change places.
- Turn around whilst walking and change places.
- Move a light ball up and down or towards a specific child without letting the ball fall out.
Individually
Use the Fling it to make a tent with pillows for the child to sit in as a safe place to calm down.
