  1. Hopscotch: Get out your chalk or get creative with colored paper/cardboard-whatever you have to make your hopscotch pattern. *Don’t forget to focus on hopping from 1 foot to 2 feet.*


  1. Jumprope: Pick a stationary object and FOCUS. Try to see how many times you can jump through the jump rope with BOTH feet in 30 seconds. 


  1. Kickball: Grab a sibling or parent and kick a ball back and forth. See how many times you can get it to each other without missing. 


  1. Play catch: Remember to use your hands and not your body to catch the ball, stuffed animal, pillow, pair of socks, etc. 


  1. Underhand toss: Practice tossing a rolled up pair of socks or small ball to another person,  into a laundry basket, box, or another container. Remember to step with the opposite foot!


  1. Standing on one foot: Stand as long as you can without losing your balance or hopping. Find a target and FOCUS. See if you can count to 20 or sing a song (Row, Row, Row Your Boat, Happy Birthday, ABCs, Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, etc.) before putting your foot down. Try both feet! 


  1. Hop on one foot: Now you can hop but again, FOCUS on an object so you aren’t hopping all over the place. See if you can hop 15x on each foot without losing your balance. 


  1. Tightrope walking: Imagine a tightrope, draw a line, or lay some ribbon down and try to walk heel to toe without falling off the tightrope! 


  1. Obstacle course: Make your own obstacle course to include jumping over something, weaving in between objects, commando crawling under something, and running to the finish line. 


  1. Jumping Jacks: (Starfish jumps) Count how many you can do!
