Fun Gross Motor Activities for Kids
Gross Motor
Development is the development of the large muscles in our body. The
muscles that are responsible for our ability to walk, run, and simply
move around. We can see great changes in a child's gross motor
development between the ages of 3 and 5:
The three year old child can:
Walk, run, turn and stop.
Coordinate in various situations.
Begin to balance.
Exhort energy when playing but still needs to rest.
The four year old child can:
Walk, run, turn and stop.
Begins to learn how to skip.
Is generally able to balance and climb.
Play and stay active with out needing a rest period.
The five year old child can:
Walk, run, and skip.
Coordinate their movement so that they are able to swim, ride a bike, skate.
Balance, jump, and climb well.
Remain active for long periods and has a high energy level.
There are four general rules parents should keep in mind when helping develop their child's gross motor skills:
First, protection. Children need large spaces where they can run around safely without getting hurt.
Second, friends. Including your child's peers in the activities makes it much more fun and enjoyable.
Third, be patient! It takes time to acquire skills such as skipping,
balancing and catching a ball. Do not get frustrated if your child is
unable to master these skills in short periods of time.
And finally, practice. Take the time to practice these new skills with your child.
