Fun Friday ~ Sport Session! 🏃🏿🏃🏽‍♀️

Welcome to our Fun Friday Sport Session again!

Today's sport session is in two parts:

1. A small workout session

2. Some ideas to practise throwing and catching at home!

Click on the picture below to get started.

__________________________

Let's practice your underarm and overarm throw!

First, to get started start with a small, soft ball, or even rolled up socks, throw them carefully in the air, so you can catch it - 

Try this 10 times - Can you keep throwing and catching without it falling on the floor?

Next - Using your underarm throw (remember your hand is by your side) throw it to a family member.

Then - Using your overarm throw (remember your hand in by your ear now) throw it to a family member.

Which throw do you find easier? Why?

Can you teach an Overarm or Underarm throw to someone else in your family?

Emotion Rolls ✄ 🙂 🤨 😥 😮 🙁 🤪

**You could even try cutting zig-zags, or swirls instead of straight lines!!**

I wonder what emotions I could add to the orange and green face...

🙂 🤨 😥 😮 🙁 🤪

__________________

🤩 Want to add more...
Add some arms and legs!

I used some strips of orange paper and my folding skills to make a concertina fold (zig-zag fold!)
I then carefully glued the ends to the side and the bottom of the roll.

Meet Mr. Happy!

Looking forward to seeing yours! 😀

Fine Motor Skills ~ Cutting Activity!

 Try a quick and easy Fine Motor Skill activity to help build up the strength in your hands! 👐🙂

All you need is:

• paper
• pen/pencils/crayons
• scissors

I drew some lines on a piece of a paper and then used sellotape to stick it to the side of the chair. You could also try this on the side of a table or even just flat on the table!

You could try: straight, zig-zag, loops or even swirls!

I carefully followed the lines - holding the paper with one hand and my scissors in the other.

When you are holding your scissors - remember to keep your elbow close to your body and open and close with your thumb and fingers!

________________________

Do you remember when we made our Slithery Snakes by cutting on the line?

Try it at home! This time you will need to draw a swirl in the middle of the page and carefully cut on the line.

I even tried one with straight lines too!
