Working on gross motor skills helps a child gain strength and confidence in his/her body. It also helps them get exercise and physical activity, which is important for a healthy lifestyle. Developing these skills helps a Childs ability to do more complex skills in future activities, such as playing soccer with a team. Here at The Academy Of Gateway we make sure to fit in gross motor every day. We even let the children bring in different things on special days. We had bike day and they loved it!
Here are some fun activities to do at home:
- Riding bikes/ scooters/pedal cars
- Playground play
- Hopscotch
- Balloon and bubble play
