Okay OT friends.....time to get creative AND outside!
All you need is chalk. Come up with a series of fun motor challenges to test your coordination, balance and endurance! If you don't have chalk, make paper signs for each station challenge!
This was ours...
1. Old-school Hopscotch
2. Heel-Toe Walking along the curving, loopy line.
3. Jump the Hurdles - do a 2-footed jump over each yellow line.
4. Flamingo Stands - stand on one foot for 10 seconds....then on the other foot for 10 seconds. Hold a nice, strong flamingo stance!
5. Spell your name with one jumping jack per letter. For an extra challenge, add your middle name. 😉
6. Flat Rock Wall climb - "walking" on your hands and feet, stay on the rock holds.
7. Backwards Walk Along the Balance Beam
8. Standing Long Jump - Just like Olympians... feet together and a large jump forward. How many inches can you go?
9. Balance Logs - take side steps down these logs. Make sure you keep your balance and side-step pattern when you go to the next log.
10. Frog Jumps - Squat down low then spring your legs up to jump HIGH!
11. Tip Toes on the Stars - get right up on your toes!
Here's our sidewalk motor challenge all together!

ReplyDeleteMy fun motor challenge is my karate class that my sensei does by zoom meeting 2 times a week and I have been swimming in my pool every day so far this week! I don't have sidewalk chalk but I am staying active. Nick Hudson
ReplyDeleteThat is AWESOME to hear, Nick! I love that your karate sensei has transitioned your classes to Zoom. You are so lucky to have a pool, especially this week! Keep up the great effort, Nick!
Deletecan we do a chalk obstacle course? Tyler
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Tyler! Share pictures or a video of your course if you can! :)
DeleteI am doing the assignment with some chalk for hopscotch, balance on the log (side step) and then using a hula hoop to throw a ball thru from different distances.
