Small Preschool Group: Large Muscle

Use a large muscle activity when it is time for children to use some energy. It should be short and include movement by as many children at one time as possible to avoid boredom. It should be a well-organized, simple event, not a free-for-all.

Examples:
Obstacle course, active game, relay (limit waiting), follow the leader, Simon Says.

Make it Relate
Relate the activity to the story. Common games can be given story-related words and actions, such as using "King David Says" for "Simon Says," or using "Night, Night, Day" for "Duck, Duck, Goose." Help children remember key lesson points enjoyably. This is sometimes a good opportunity for children to act out appropriate parts of the story.
