Scripture: But as for me I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. -Micah 7:7
Kid's Activity Idea: Have some painters tape laying around? If so you're gonna want to pull it out today! See game ideas below...
Tape Lines: Make 5–10 separate lines of tape, each about a foot apart, on your floor or carpet. Label the first one the “start” line and then give your kids simple instructions:
Long Jump: See how many lines they can jump over. Have them try and beat their best score each time. Experiment with arm swinging vs. arms behind their backs.
Run ‘n’ Jump: Now let them take a running start and see if they can jump even further!
Long Jump Backwards: Increase the difficulty by performing the tasks jumping backwards.
Hop: How far can they jump on one leg?
Reach ‘n’ Stretch: How far can their leg reach with one foot on the “start” line?
Tape Shape Game: Use this tape to put a variety of shapes, letters and/or numbers on your floor. Have your child stand on their favorite one then give them instructions to follow that will lead them to their next destination (for example: “bear crawl to the square”, “hop like a Frog to the T”, “Run to the rectangle”). We love that this game - keeps your child moving, but also helps them learn their shapes, letters and numbers!
