Walking on the line is an activity influenced by Dr. Montessori’s progressive understanding of the relationship between movement and intellectual development.
The purpose of the activity is to develop balance and equilibrium as well as the ability to walk elegantly without unnecessary movements which requires reestablishing center of gravity (equilibrium) as it is constantly shifting with every movement to maintain balance. Through the integration of mind and body the child develops grace, independence, and refinement of movement. This is in part because walking on the line is done in conjunction with the community. The children walk on the line in groups where they must be aware of their own bodies and the others around them, resulting in social cohesion.
