An activity that engages you brain and your body!
Objective:
The goal of this activity is to get your brain and body moving together!
Game Rules:
In this cross-curricular activity we integrate the learning of the alphabet into an active game. Begin by writing the letters of the alphabet on a ball. With an alphabet ball you can play many letters learning active and adapt the game depending on the age of the children you are working with. You can play a catch game were children say the first letter they see on the ball out loud after catching it.
Progression (optional):
If you think the children need a challenge you can progress into saying words that start with that letter or even more challenging, spelling that word out loud. These are all great ways to get your brain and body moving together!
