Post ideas for providing heavy work and movement activities that have been successful for you and your family in the home environment.
Dance Party and Freeze Dance- who doesn't love to dance!!
If going on a walk have your child help you pull a wagon or push a stroller along the way.
Ideas for chalk
Hopscotch: great for movement, heavy work, motor planning and coordination. Have your child help you with drawing the squares and putting the numbers in the boxes.
Letter or number jumping: writing letters on ground, have child jump from letter to letter, either in sequential order or to spell names or site words. If you space letters out can do animal walks (bear walk or crab walk) between letters. Incorporates visual scanning, heavy work, motor planning and postural control.
Shape/color jumping: if your child is not yet identifying letters or numbers, use shapes or colored circles and have them jump to an identified shape or color. Incorporates visual scanning, heavy work, motor planning and postural control.
Listening game: with letters/numbers/shapes or colors on ground, provide a sequence of 2-3 and then have them jump or crawl to the stated item on the ground in that order. Great for auditory processing, motor planning and "tuning in", as well as visual scanning, heavy work, motor planning and postural control.
