Movement Indoor Ideas
With school closed for the next few weeks, I’m adding some of our class favorite movement activities.
Sidewalk Chalk Tape Resist Art
You can make a design with tape on a fence, floor and even a window (this option can be messy:) Then have your child fill in each piece with wet chalk. The best part is removing the tape!
Go on a Bear Hunt
Place a Teddy bear in your child’s bedroom and play the Going on a Bear Hunt Song until you finally get to the bear. You can also build an obstacle course as you follow each step of the song.
Freeze Dance
One of our favorite Freeze dance songs is this. You can also choose any music your child enjoys dancing to and tell them to freeze when the music stops. Pause the music a few times during the song and say, "freeze!" (This game helps children learn to control their movement and remember rules.)
Red Light, Green Light
“Red light” means stop, and “green light” means to go. You can play this game indoors or while walking down the street too. The goal is to make it fun and not necessarily a competition, there are no winners or losers. Take turns being the Caller.
There are some fun videos we can watch together as well, let me know which ones your child enjoyed the most:
GoNoodle : Once you make your account (free) search for Believer or This or That some of our favorites.
Have fun!
