VIDBE-Q 2025 Volume 70 Issue 4 • The Net. Cooperative tag where tagged peers form a tactile net that progressively narrows space: focus on direction changes and spatial awareness. • Jellyfish. A course of hoops and tactile spots to avoid obstacles, trains balance and precise foot placement with concise cues ("three small steps, turn, freeze"). • Turtles. A controlled cooperative carry (hands on shoulders/hips; no pulls on neck/head) develops strength‑control, posture, and collaboration; partners alternate roles. • Escape from the Dentist. A relay along a guided corridor ends with an underhand roll to a sound target, consolidating target accuracy and turn‑taking/competition management. Throughout, maintain the small, consistent set of SPACE CHECK / READY‑GO / SLOW / STOP; avoid cue overload. Support children with low vision by increasing marker contrast and reducing background noise/visual clutter; for children with blindness, mark corridors with ropes/tactile mats and use tactile modeling in new/complex phases. Conclude with a debrief on safety, participation, and competence. 192
