Impromptu Indoor Gross Motor Activities


We love playing outside, but when it is too cold, too hot, too windy or rainy, and we'd rather stay indoors, we play silly, spur-of-the-moment games. Let me share what we did yesterday:

We made an obsticle course with the chairs and bean bags.
Developing #grossmotorskills and #spatialrelationskills while getting rid of that energy (or trying, at least!)

Then we used the coloured mats to do some jumping.
"Jump on the yellow mat, green mat", etc. (#colorrecognition)

"Throw the bean bag on the pink mat,green mat", etc. (#handeyecoordination, #estimation, #colourrecognition)

Lella had fun doing these activities, and mom loved it, because she only gave orders;)

What do your kids love doing indoors when they can't play outside? Please leave a comment, I'd love to hear from you!
