Learning Outcome
How to find personal space with the help of bubble
Activity Description
Ask the children to stand up and spread out so they are not touching anything at home.
Ask the children to imitate you as you demonstrate the following skills:
Jump up and down
Jump side to side
Hop (on one foot at a time, alternate left-right
Walk at different speeds, directions, and patterns (shapes, zigzag, etc.)
Skip (step, hop, step, hop…)
Required Material
4 Boundary cone
Learning Outcome
This activity develops coordination of legs, arms, and torso, plus dynamic balance. These skills transfer to sports and activities that involve dynamic balance and coordination for lifting and lowering objects (e.g., weightlifting as a sport, and all daily lifting activities in general, plus combative sports such as wrestling and judo)
Activity Description- Imaginary Activity
Go with your toddler for a walk in a natural space (beach, forest, park, etc.).
Encourage your toddler to find interesting things to pick up and investigate (e.g. stones, sticks, leaves)
Watch to ensure your toddler does not pick up anything unsafe.
TIP: This simple activity develops balance and coordination in bending down to pick things up.
Variations
• In your home, encourage your toddler to help you in activities where you are picking up things around the house
• Picking up books and putting them on a shelf
• Picking up toys and putting them away
• Picking up clothes for the laundry

Activity Description
Teach your child the song “Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes”.
Show your child the movements that go with each of the words.
Touch each body part named in the song with the fingertips of both hands.
Make sure your child bends their knees deeply when they go down to touch their knees and toes.

Words:
Head and shoulders, knees and toes
Knees and toes, knees and toes
Head and shoulders, knees and toes
Eyes, ears, mouth, and nose
Required Material
4 Boundary cone, music
Learning Outcome
This activity develops leg coordination, dynamic balance, and speed. These skills transfer to sports and activities that involve dynamic balance and speed (e.g., soccer, basketball, hockey, volleyball, racquet sports, martial arts, dance).
Activity Description
Either indoors or outdoors, have your child “lead” you around, over, under, and through obstacles.
If indoors, your child can lead around, over, or under furniture (with your supervision and permission).
If outdoors, your child can lead around, over, under, and through playground equipment, trees, and shrubs.
Encourage leaders to vary movements with walking, running, changing direction, stopping, and starting.
Ensure you are playing in a safe place. Do not play around with cars or mechanical equipment.
Variations
Have children take turns being the leader
If you join the game as an adult, make sure the children take turns leading most of the time
Required Material
4 Boundary cone, Ladder
Learning Outcome
This activity develops coordination of arms and torso, fine motor control, and the ability to “read” distances. These skills transfer to sports and activities that involve throwing an object accurately over a perceived distance (e.g., balls, frisbees, ribbons, sticks, batons).
Activity Description
Create a series of “golf holes” by placing the buckets, baskets, or boxes around your living room, hallways, and other available spaces.
Place scraps of cardboard or paper on the floor to mark “golf tees” where you throw from.
With your child, take turns standing on each golf tee and tossing a beanbag or ball underhand into the bucket, basket, or box.
Continue tossing at each hole until each of you sinks one shot.
Go around the circuit of “golf holes” and keep track of how many tosses each of you requires to sink a shot at each hole.
If your child has too much difficulty sinking shots, consider having different tees with different distances for parent and child.
Variations
As your child masters the game using short distance tosses, challenge them by increasing the distances
After your child masters the underhand throw, play again using overhand throws
Required Material
Beanbags, soft foam balls, or balls of socks Buckets, laundry baskets, or large cardboard boxes.Pieces of cardboard or paper to mark “golf tees”
