Thumb Pointing Challenge

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Hands

Clench your left fist and give a big ‘thumbs up’ with your left hand. Keep your right hand’s thumb tucked in, ready for action.

Step 2: Point Your Fingers

With your right hand, extend your pointer finger and point it directly at the raised thumb of your left hand.

Step 3: Switch Positions

Now, switch it up! Move your left pointer finger to point at the right hand's raised thumb. Keep those thumbs moving!

Step 4: Speed and Coordination

Repeat the switch between these two positions, trying to improve your speed and coordination as you go. The faster and smoother, the better!
