They both had such a fantastic time! I am sure we will be doing this one often!īIO: Danielle is a former elementary teacher, a mom of two and now shares playful learning activities at Mom Inspired Life. They also liked hopping from one line to another line all over the driveway. They even invented a bunch of other goofy ways to go down the lines. They really liked pretending that there was water on either side of the line and they had to stay on or they would fall in. He even tried going backwards.Īfterward, they both enjoyed playing on the lines in whatever way they wanted. With my older preschooler, I gave him extra challenges like, “Can you jump down that zig-zag line?” or “I bet you could hop on one foot along that swirly line!” He had a great time jumping, running, and hopping and walking sideways down the lines. By the end of our time playing, she had made great improvement with staying on the line more closely. She had some trouble with balancing, so sometimes I would lightly hold one of her hands while she walked the line. With my toddler we focused on trying to keep her feet on the lines as much as possible. Most of the lines gave my three-year old a bit of a challenge. The curvy line and the swirl gave him a bit of a challenge though. My five-year old was able to stay on the lines very well. Then I gave them a chance to try it out themselves. I walked on the lines and showed them how I made sure to stay on the line as closely as possible.
Zigzag lines activity for preschoolers idea how to#
To begin, I modeled how to use the lines. I went over them twice so that they were really obvious and less likely to get wiped away with shoes stepping on them over and over again.
I drew a long zig-zag line, a curvy line, a straight line and big swirl. Then draw a bunch of different types of lines on the concrete. That is all! Just grab the sidewalk chalk and head outside to a large concrete space. Although it is super simple, it is jam-packed with opportunities to develop these skills! Setting Up the Game While playing this simple gross motor game, children will develop balance, coordination, movement planning and gross motor skills like running, jumping, skipping and more. My kids had a blast playing it! It could be a quick-and-easy addition to your field day, too. It’s an excellent way to develop gross motor skills in young children. This outdoor movement game is super simple to set up, but tons of fun. This is a simple activity that gets children beginning to think about simple mark-making lines and handwriting patterns.
