 Functional Strength & Balance: Task Cards & Printables – Kid Version

Build strength, confidence, and independence with 19 essential functional movement activities designed specifically for teens.

Finding functional strength and balance resources for teens can be challenging. This set bridges the gap between clinical therapy goals and real-world movement, providing a go-to resource for physical therapy, occupational therapy, PE programs, classrooms and more.

The Functional Advantage Unlike standard exercise drills, these cards focus on functional literacy—the ability to move safely and efficiently through the real world. Each card features a clear, teen-friendly image on the front and a “Why It Matters” explanation on the back. By understanding the functional benefits, teens and adults alike are more motivated to engage, knowing that these movements directly translate to improved independence in the lunchroom, on outdoors, and in everyday environments.
