| | | | Twist on Old Favorite Activity #2: Hopscotch: You need some chalk or tape if you are inside to make the hopscotch board. You can write numbers 1-10 in the boxes. Throw a stone, bean bag or other marker to a square (usually in sequence). Then jump and hop to the square to retrieve the marker. Turn around, and return without dropping the object. Only 1 foot per square permitted. Alternate players and keep playing until you have completed all the squares. | | New Hopscotch Holiday Twist: - Instead of numbers, use holiday designs- a christmas tree, candy cane, snowman, dreidel, party hat. You can also write holiday related words such as lights, party, reindeer, santa, or presents to name a few.
- After the child takes a turn, they must write down or draw the picture on a piece of paper of their square. It helps track what square they did and practices writing at the same time!
- Use construction paper or rug squares to "shuffle" the squares before each game.
- Use holiday or seasonal themed markers like jiggle bells or dredeils. Or refer to colored bean bags by seasonal terms like: "reindeer brown"; "carrot-nose orange"; "holly green" etc.
