Using the Gross Motor List Printable

Here are a few ideas for the gross motor lists.

Review the Movements

For each of the gross motor ideas you might want to review the ideas with kids first. This lets them know what the movements are. And you can show them how to do idea gross movement.

Put the Gross Motor Pages in a Sheet Protector

I like to put all the pages in a sheet protector. This allows me to put them on a clipboard and use them over and over. I love that I can check off the activities that we have done with a dry erase marker. Plus makes it really easy to store.

Write the Gross Motor Ideas on Paper

You can use a piece of paper and write out the gross motor ideas. You can then cut them out and have kids pick the gross motor idea they are going to use.

This lets you mix up the ideas from the lists.

You can also find some great heavy work activities for kids to try out. And all great for small spaces.
