Mini Gym

We noticed that the Mini Gym children were interested in movement and gross motor activities. Here are some of the fun activities that we have done!

PLASTIC CUPS SLING SHOT

Practising our hand-eye coordination

The children were interested in aiming and shooting so we provided the materials to make paper cups sling shot. We had a contest to see who could launch their pom pom the farthest.  

           





              POOL NOODLE FIGHT

The children transformed into knights as they fought with pool noodles to defend their kingdom. They cooperated together as they worked towards their common goal of defeating their enemy.  

POM POM RACE

  We created a race track on the floor using tape.  Using straws, the children raced to blow a pom pom from one end of the gym to the other.  Our children have some strong lungs!

Our brothers faced off against each other to win the title!

SOCCER BASE BALL GAME

We took the children to Blue Lake Park for a game of soccer baseball.  We practised kicking, throwing, running and teamwork.

                             Safe!

BALLOON TOSS RELAY RACE

A water balloon relay race is the perfect game on a hot day! We very carefully tried to catch the water balloon without popping or dropping it as we raced to the finish line.


POPCORN GAME

 The goal of this game was for one team to work together to get the dodge balls out of the "popcorn machine" while the other group worked to throw them back in.





POOL NOODLES OLYMPICS

We hosted the Pool Noodle Olympics in the back field.  Two teams, Team Turtle and Team Shark battled each other all afternoon in games of zigzag races, obstacle courses, jump rope challenges and spinning contests.
