1. Spatial Awareness: Activity - The Bubble Pop This simple but effective activity can be carried out in an outdoor space. Blow bubbles and encourage the child to pop them. Children run, skip, jump, and stretch to pop the bubbles, developing their sense of the space around them. 2. Body Awareness: Activity - Simon Says This classic game encourages children to become more aware of their bodies and their capabilities. The person leading the game can instruct children to touch specific body parts, or perform actions like jumping, clapping, or twirling. 3. Crossing the Midline: Activity - Ball Passing Encourage children to sit in a circle. They should then pass a ball to each other using both hands. This requires children to cross the midline of their bodies to pass and receive the ball. 4. Laterality: Activity - Hokey Pokey Dance This traditional song and dance activity is great for teaching children the concept of left and right. The lyrics instruct the dancers to put a specific body part "in" and "out", differentiating between left and right. 5. Directionality: Activity - Treasure Hunt Set up a simple treasure hunt that requires children to follow clues located in different places. These clues should guide them in various directions such as up, down, left, right, near, far, etc. This activity will help in understanding directions while also fostering problem-solving skills. Remember to always maintain a safe environment while conducting these activities, and adjust them according to the children's abilities and age group.
