Then have students toss a bean bag on a space and jump to get there. Create a simple hopscotch board with numbers. I really think painter’s tape is the way to go on this one. Need more ideas? Check out this post at Hands on As We Grow. See how many rungs they can stretch – or how far they can go on one foot. Can they jump farther with a running start? Then have students see how many rungs they can jump. And there’s so much you can do with it! Put it on the floor like a ladder. It goes on (and comes off) easily – whether you’ve got a smooth floor or a carpeted one (but be sure to test it first just to be sure). Painter’s tape is one of the best inventions ever. Need more ideas? Check out 15 animal walks for sensory input, from Lemon Lime Adventures Move like a penguin (waddle with ankles close together and arms pinned to sides).Move like an elephant (with heavy stomping).Move like a kangaroo (take big leaps with arms in front of chest).Move like a frog (get down on haunches and hop).Move like a snake (wiggle on tummies on the floor).Move like a bird (run with arms outstretched).You’ll need some open space, but this is a great way to get kids using new muscles. For example, “Find and tag something blue.” Or “Find and tag something that starts with /s/.” Just tell your learners to find something and tag it. This is a versatile game that can be used to review many different skills. Toss it to another student with a new word for him/her to rhyme. Then s/he names a rhyming word and tosses the ball back to you. For example, you can throw a ball to a student and name a word. Then think of a way to incorporate learning with a ball toss.
If your learners are able to catch a simple toss, put them in a circle. Or put them close together for tiny steps. Put the plates far apart for biiiig steps. Put the plates in a row to get your students moving around the classroom. Or have them get down on all fours and “skate” with a plate under each hand. Then get creative! Place them in a row (red, green, red, green) and have students step on just the red ones. Then get your learners in several rows, and have them take turns tossing bean bags into the target.īuy some colored paper plates. Here’s a list to keep on hand! These are perfect for both the home and the early childhood classroom. You need things for your learners to get those wiggles out, or you’re going to go a little crazy! I know how the winter goes – whether you’re experiencing it now, or you’re in the southern hemisphere and looking forward to it in a few months. Looking for simple gross motor activities you can do indoors? This is the mega list!
