Have you ever watched kids engage in pretend play?

They launch a spaceship, dance on a stage, or row a boat across a raging river, all in the comfort of your classroom or living room.

These activities involve lifting, pushing, raising and lowering limbs, and moving through spaces.

We know the importance of keeping kids active to support early childhood development.

This easy-to-use resource has fun ideas to support gross motor movement and build imaginations.

The variety of activities will help you incorporate physical activity into your daily schedule.

Easy Large Motor Play Ideas

This digital product contains fun and easy activities you and the kids can jump right into.

Games, music, and role play promote body movement and spatial awareness using those large motor, or gross motor, muscles.

The activities are easy to set up with simple props and everyday materials. 

• Props are as simple as scarves for twirling as you dance to music, or blocks to stack to build a house for one of the three little pigs.

Activities are hands-on, some more challenging then others, but easily adapted to your students abilities and interests.

There are games to play as partners or in small groups, as well as activities where each participant moves in his or her own space.

There's a lot of trial and error going on when kids interact with space and materials. 

• They experiment with how to spread a blanket to build a fort, how high they can jump, or the different ways they can march in a parade.

This large motor resource provides lots of fun ideas with room for innovation and creative thinking.
