Practice carrying trays/baskets/plates of items on your head. This isn’t as easy as it sounds, so it will take some experimenting to find a way to make it balance without holding on to it.

Send a letter to someone who lives far away. If you don’t know anyone who lives far away, find a penpal. See how long it takes for a letter to go across countries. If possible, write to someone who you know will write back if asked, but not until they read the letter, so they can see how long it takes for a letter to travel and get a response.
