Gross Motor
Theme: Summer Olympics
Purpose: We have set up a series of gross motor tasks for the children - simulating (a bit of a stretch) sports from the summer Olympics - gymnastics, swimming and basketball. The tasks will help them to develop body awareness, motor planning, bilateral coordination, strength, sequencing, and eye-hand coordination. In addition, it provides opportunities for sensory input (tactile, vestibular and proprioception) and a sense of accomplishment.
Tasks: (start the Olympic music)
1. Jump 10 times on small trampoline
2. Jump the "hurdles" across the mat with colored squares
3. Climb the stairs and slide down into the swimming pool (of balls)
4. Throw the variety of balls into the barrel "basket."
