Activity For Kids:
Gross motor robot movement game
I like this activity because it practices your kid's gross motor skills, it teaches them to follow directions, and it's cheap and easy to do.
It’s also very simple: You just write commands on popsicle sticks, and tell your kids you’re going to play a game where they “move like a robot”.
This activity is inspired by ideas from Gross motor robot movement game.
