Movement Activities
Again, options are endless here! Throw on some fun music on and have a dance party in your living room! Hop around on pillows or paper that you pretend are puddles! Play Simon says, run around outside, go for a nature walk, create a scavenger hunt, etc!
I came across a fun game idea I thought I’d share. It’s called “Four Corners.” Could be done inside or outside.
Instructions are as followed:
What we’re learning in this game:
- Colors, numbers, letters, or whatever skill YOU want to choose.
- Counting
- Prediction/Outcome
- Gross motor skills
Materials Needed:
- 4 different colored pieces of paper (Don’t have colored paper? Use crayons or markers to color on white paper/cardboard to represent that color)
- A marker to write numbers/letters on paper if you’d like to practice counting/letter recognition.
How to play:
1. Place each piece of paper in a different corner of the room. Tape them down if needed.
2. Explain to your child that you are going to close your eyes. While your eyes are closed, they will have five seconds to choose a “corner” to stand on.
3. Count down from 5 to 1, and then, with your eyes still closed, call out a color, number or letter. If you call the same color, number, or letter that your child is standing on, they get a point.
4. Repeat as many times as you want!
