Know Your Shapes Maze
Tools
Chalk
Activity Description
Draw your very own shape maze using chalk! Create a starting and end point with shapes in-between. Then, say the name of the shape before you can jump to the next shape. This is a perfect way to get your little ones moving and outside!
Steps
Step 1: Use chalk to draw various shapes to create a maze. Be sure to include a "wrong way" to make it more fun and exciting for the kids!
Step 2: Begin at the start and say the name of the first shape. Hop off of both feet at the same time onto that shape and continue naming the shapes until you have hopped to the finish line. Be sure to keep an eye out when hopping off of both feet at the same time.
Goals
Children will practice drawing shapes and naming them. When jumping from one shape to the next, children work on balance, motor planning, and bilateral coordination.
