Our theme for the month is "Let's Get Moving!" Each week will be focussed on a different mode of getting around. The first week? The one method they have at their disposal: Feet!
Outings:
We will go for a few walks, of course. We will walk, we will march, we will skip, gallop, shuffle, jump, slide, because there are all sorts of ways you can move using feet. One walk will, weather permitting, end at the park for a picnic.
Games and Activities:
Given that it's November and the weather is going to become increasingly uncooperative, I've planned some rowdy indoor activities just in case. We'll be making an obstacle course with this and that around the house. We'll also be having races -- basic footraces (in which no one will win or lose, we'll all just run like stink), egg and spoon race (where the 'egg' will be a dollop of playdough), and we'll try having a race while running backwards!
We'll be playing "Hop Little Bunnies" with a transportation theme all month: we'll be cars and busses and airplanes and trains...
Crafts:
Lacing cards (because we walk in shoes, and shoes have laces! Okay, mostly their shoes have velcro, but velcro they can manage.)
Footprint mural. We'll paint the soles of their bare feet and have them walk along a long strip of paper.
