Gross Motor - Ball Skills
Learning Objective:
To work to develop and strengthen my hand to eye coordination through the use of ball skills
You will need:
A basket / basin
A safe space to work in
A soft ball / bean bag
A set of numbers (help your child form numbers 1-5 on slips on paper. Place the numbers on the floor moving away from the basket).
Learning activity:
Count to 3 and stand on the matching numeral. Aim and throw your ball into the basket. With each success move further away and stand on the corresponding numeral.
Other ideas:
Sit on the floor , roll the ball to your partner.
Throw a ball to your partner. Catch the ball with two hands.
Set up a variety of containers / sized balls to extend this activity.
Use numbers up to ten.
some extra fun ;-)
The sleeping song
Here are the short lyrics "Sleeping, sleeping, all the children are sleeping. And when they woke up, they were all ---." Fill in the blank with various animals, insects, or even stones, blocks etc and let their imagination run wild. Kids love acting like cats, snakes and even robots or babies!
As soon as one thing has run its course, begin the song again in a quiet voice as your child stops and pretends to sleep until the next thing is called. Keep cue cards for yourself, or let your child be the "caller". They can even help make the flashcards (ex. write "s" on one side, and on the other draw a picture of a snake). Keep the cards handy; they’ll want to play again and again.
Great LEARNING today giraffes!
Great work everybody! Have a super day and I look forward to seeing you to tomorrow for more fun learning :-)
Give yourself a 1-2
Well done you!
