I fancy myself a pretty creative person, especially when it comes to weaving lesson plans. Each day includes time for spiritual, social, cognitive, physical, and artistic development for our children. But I tell you, the 14 days in a row that it rained, I really started to run out of indoor physical activities...
So I got to the end of my creative rope and tied a knot. I searched up ABC exercises. What do you know, there are You Tube videos that will lead you right through the alphabet. We stretched our bodies and brains right through indoor recess time.
Once we did the whole alphabet, we each took turns sharing our favorite letter and stretch. B is demonstrating his favorite, along with many others', the Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,
C's favorite required lots of balance!
We will "stretch" our minds even further next time when we generate new words that begin with each letter of the alphabet and act them out. I bet we could even make our own video that other kids could use on rainy days! Maybe "F" is for flamingo, "W"is for worm, or "P" is for penguin!
