🦶Little Feet, Big Steps🦶
Today, we had an exciting “Obstacle Challenge” in our classroom! Using a few small cones, we designed a game that effectively promotes the development of gross motor skills and body coordination for our little ones.
⭐️Highlights of the Activity:
🚀 Develop Balance – To avoid hitting the cones, the children need to adjust their body weight, lift their feet, and place them down steadily. This process is a wonderful opportunity to train both static and dynamic balance.
🧠 Enhance 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 it go? This is essential proprioceptive training.
👣 Strengthen Large Muscle Groups – The action of stepping over the cones effectively works the legs, hips, and core muscles, helping them walk more steadily and jump with greater strength.
🎯 Cultivate Concentration – The children must focus their eyes on the target and attentively carry out the task, which is the initial cultivation of task-oriented learning.
Watching the children stretch out their little hands, trying to balance like little penguins as they carefully step over each “hill,” fills our teachers with joy! The cautious expressions on their faces and the smiles after completing the task are our greatest motivation.
