FROM THE DIRECTOR

Dear Parents:
Coordination is the ability to move one’s body
in a controlled manner – walking, hopping,
skipping and balancing.
-
Let your child crawl over, under and around
chairs or tables.
-
Give a series of directions such as “hop on
one foot three times and then turn around.”
-
Hop over a rope as it swings back and forth.
-
Ask your child to playfully walk backward or
sideways.
-
Practice walking along a line with eyes open
then closed.
-
Have your child run in place to music while
you count to ten.
-
Teach your child how to skip.
-
Face your child and holding hands, jump
together.
-
Jump forward and backward over a line or
crack.
-
Practice bouncing a ball back and forth with
your child.
-
Do jumping-jack exercises.
-
Play catch by throwing a bean bag to your
child.
-
Have your child stand on tiptoes and
balance.
-
Use a two-by-four as a balance beam. Have
your child walk along it with arms out or
clasped behind the body.
-
On the balance bean, have your child walk to
the center, kneel on one knee, rise, and
walk to the end.
By practicing these routines, your child will
have fun and improve his/her coordination
skills.
Sincerely,
Melanie Samuelson
Director/Teacher/Parent
