Fine Motor
- Table Football: (Materials needed - any kind of scrap or recycle paper.) Rip the paper into small pieces then crumple it into tiny balls. Sit across from your child and use your fingers to create a football goal post. Ask your child to flick the small paper balls to try to score a “field goal.”
- Letter Find by Starting Stroke: (Materials- marker or highlighter and a paper with lowercase letters all over it - randomly write letters on a paper, print one out on the computer, or use a page in a book or magazine.) Ask your child to circle or highlight all of the tall line down letters. On another page they can circle or highlight all the c-curve letters (do it for all the strokes - tall line down, short line down, c-curve, sliding line and sleeping line letters).
- Jumping Letters: (Set-up - Using chalk, draw a large square (4' X 4') on the sidewalk or in your driveway. Draw different letters randomly around the square.) Ask your child to find and jump to different letters. Variation: Ask them to do different things when they find and get on each letter i.e. find and stand on letter “b” then balance on your right foot for 5 seconds, find and stand on letter “z” and do arm circles, find and stand on letter “k” and pretend to kick a ball, find and stand on letter “j” and jump 5 times, etc.
