🦶Little Feet, Big Steps 🦶
Today, we had a fun “Obstacle Challenge” in the classroom! Using a few small cones, we designed a game that fully exercises the development of large muscles and body coordination for our children.
⭐️Activity Highlights:
🚀 Developing Balance – To avoid touching the cones, children need to adjust their body weight, lift their feet, and place them down steadily. This process is the perfect opportunity to train both static and dynamic balance.
🧠 Enhancing Body Awareness – They need to be aware of the spatial distance between their bodies and the obstacles. Which foot should be lifted first? How high should they lift it? This is an important training for proprioception.
👣 Strengthening Large Muscle Groups – The action of stepping over effectively trains the leg, hip, and core muscle groups, making walking more stable and running and jumping more powerful.
🎯 Cultivating Focus – Children must keep their eyes on the target and concentrate on completing the task, which is an initial cultivation of task-oriented learning.
Watching the children stretch out their little hands, balancing like little penguins, and carefully stepping over each “hill,” the teachers felt so happy! The caution on their faces and the smiles after successfully completing the task are our greatest motivation.
