Throw paper airplane
A paper airplane only flies if the folds are even and the throw catches the right angle, otherwise it dives straight into the floor. The result shows up instantly, so disappointment is as visible as joy. The steps below give small fingers a guide.

About this visual support
Few activities give as instant feedback as a paper airplane. When the plane dives straight into the rug, the whole effort – the folding, the focus, the throw – looks like a one-second failure. That is why this little task often carries a tension that you cannot see by just looking at the finished plane.
The visual support breaks the folding into manageable creases and then separates the grip from the throwing arm. Comparing the actual paper to each picture step by step makes it easier to spot what to adjust before the plane even leaves the hand. A specific tip: ask the child to press every fold with the thumbnail along the full edge before the next crease. That stiffens the plane and cuts down on lopsided dives.
If you want the game to become a recurring break in the day, drop it into Routined as a short slot, for example after homework or tidying. The flight then becomes a reward tied to something concrete, not just a scattered impulse.
