This month's Mother Goose Time theme, food an fitness, has had lots of games that get us up and moving.
The kids have been stretching and loosening up their muscles.
We had a contest to see who could jump the farthest. Everyone got a turn and marked where they landed.
We all worked together to throw and catch a ball 12 times without it hitting the floor. It took quite a few tries to get to 12.
The kids got to take turns kicking a ball and knocking down as many cups as they could. Then they had to identify the letter on the cups they knocked down.
They also took turns rolling _an words and then racing to the matching word hanging on the wall.
I read From Head to Toe while the kids acted it out.
They also made a ball toss game to take home. They decorated cups and then attached pom poms to the inside. They had to try and swing the cup and catch the pom pom inside.
They practiced patience waiting for their turn to toss a beanbag. They had to pick a card and throw the bean bag into the corresponding colored hoop.
We spent a day doing jumping activities, making frog headbands was a perfect ending to the day.
Everyone got a turn to dip balls in paint and roll them around to make a picture. They always have fun when we do this type of craft.
One of the letters we're working on this month is Q. The kids colored their letter Q books to take home.
In keeping with the theme, the kids did patterning work using basketball and soccer ball pictures.
