Invite children to stand up and act out some parts of a familiar story.
Allow children to choose to stand up while doing table activities.
Encourage children to move creatively from one activity to the next. For
example, they can “float like a butterfly to the playground,” or “hop like a
rabbit to the rug to hear a story.”
If you see children getting restless during an activity, stop for a few minutes
and let them move around for awhile. Try a few rounds of “Simon Says” or
“Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes.”
Encourage the children to run and play freely outdoors.
Set up an area on your playground where children can kick balls without
getting in the way of other activities.
Music and movement can provide a great transition from one activity to the
next. When you have a few minutes between activities, turn on some music
and invite the children to dance or move freely. If you’ve been doing quiet
activities and“need to get the wiggles out,” choose faster music.If you’ve been
active and need to settle down, choose quieter, slower music.
Find recorded children’s music for dancing and movement such as music by
The Laurie Berkner Band, Ella Jenkins, Greg and Steve, and Putumayo Kids.
If possible, allow a child in a wheelchair to get out and crawl or roll around
on the floor or grass. Check with the child’s parent or physical therapist to
see if this is appropriate.
