Thanks to Teach Preschool’s post about the Olympic Blog Hop, I discovered a bunch of great Olympics-inspired movement posts for the little ones and had to share!
Move Like a Gymnast from Creative Family Fun – these activities might be fun to incorporate into a summer camp next year.
Pom Pom Games – These pom poms look fairly easy to make and would be a fun alternative to bean bags in the classroom.
Movement Games for Young Children – a few ideas and a great list of guidelines for creating your own movement game.
Ring-Based Movement Ideas – You could easily translate these ideas to non-Olympic rings by using some hoola hoops or rubber circles.
Olympic Family Fitness from The Iowa Farmer’s Wife – a 15-minute fitness lesson for a 3-year old including warm-up, activity and cool down.
Cute London Bus Prop Idea – ok, so this one has nothing to do with movement, but the London bus they made from a cardboard box would be a cute prop!
Have you been watching the Olympics? Will any Olympic inspired movement be making its way into your classrooms this year?
Thank you for sharing on your site! We had 18 days childcentered fun with the olympics and tomorrow a twitterchat at 8pm UK time #kidsolympics.
