Like Giving a Nudge
Pushes Are Everywhere
You give pushes all day long without even noticing: when you open a door, when you move a chair, or even when you kick a ball. Every time you send something moving because of your body’s force, that’s a push, simple, fun, and very real!
Examples
- A child pushes a toy car across the floor.
- You push a shopping cart to move it forward.
- A football player pushes another player during a tackle.
