Physical domain

Everyone sits in a circle passing around the Ajaga seeing who can spear the bone.

All you need is a string about 5-6 inches long, attached to a bone from a bearded seal or any bone with one or more holes in it. At the other end of the string is a small bone tip about 2-3 inches long.

You hold the spear in your dominant hand and toss up the bone trying to get the bone on the spear. It may look easy but it’s very time sensitive. If you get the caribou on the spear you keep going, if not the Ajaga is passed on.

This gets the kids moving, teaching them to be patient (waiting for their turn)

1. RABBIT HOP

Equipment: None

Stance and Start: Competitor stands on a

set line. Movement: Thrusting body forward with

legs, put both hands on floor in front of

you and hop into squat position. Do

another hop in the same way, and then

leap forward as far as you can in broad

jump fashion. You must land on two feet.

Judging and Scoring: Competitor must

land balanced on two feet. Farthest

distance wins. Distance is measured from

the line to the point of landing. The best

out of three jumps

For materials just need an open clean space.

This will help them with their physical domain, building strength.

I will try this with the babies
