I’m a day late for a Monday post, but better late than never, right?! One of my goals in therapy this semester is to get back to incorporating movement into my therapy sessions. Today, I wanted to share just a simple vocabulary activity I came up with for our Transportation unit in preschool (I love all of the cute winter-themed activities I am continuing to see everyone posting on Instagram & Facebook… but I just can’t do winter anymore! <insert sign language for “all done” here> So, onto new themes, we go!)<\/p>\n
This activity just uses basic transportation images found here<\/a> (I went with real photos for this activity) taped to beanbags. I took three containers and taped on pictures of water, a road, and a cloud for various modes of transportation, as well. <\/p>\n The kids got to pick a beanbag out of a pile, and we worked on picture naming and some WH questions. After talking about the pictured item for a little bit, they had to decide which container they should toss it in– water, road, or air.<\/p>\n It was a super simple activity, but they got to move around a little bit and throw things (I mean, what 3 or 4 year old doesn’t enjoy that?), so they enjoyed it! <\/p>\n For added movement, try adding some simple yoga<\/b> to your therapy! Act out each mode of transportation as you work on naming the pictures– try boat pose for boats\/ships, chair pose for a tractor or cars with arms extended out in front of you rather than vertically, or warrior 3 pose for airplanes!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m a day late for a Monday post, but better late than never, right?!
