Body Race for 3 Year Olds

.

Materials: balls, index cards (or slips of paper), writing utensil

  • Have your child brainstorm several body parts
  • Write each body part down on a separate index card while your child identifies each letter being written *Children can also trace each letter as an option for extra practice 

  • Have your child choose one card out of the pile, provide them with the initial sound (/f/ for foot, /n/ for nose) and see if they can complete the word, and have them show you that part of their body 

  • Starting at one end of the room have your child/children race from one end to the other using only the chosen body part to move the ball.  For example, if your child picks out the card that says “finger”, they must crawl across the floor, only using their finger to nudge the ball.  

  • Repeat with each body part that is selected

  • Enjoy!
