10 MOVEMENT GAMES TO PLAY AT HOME WITH CHILDREN
Staying at home for a long time is a condition that we have learned to live. But we all need to get moving, especially the children. For this reason we have decided to collect some ideas to move around the house with the children, having fun. 10 MOVEMENT GAMES TO PLAY AT HOME WITH CHILDREN
Stilts
Two buckets, ropes and the little feet and little hands that guide them to walk around the house maintaining hand-foot coordination and balance. Here you will find our non-slip stilts and our snail stilts to play and move in maximum safety.
Home bowling
Certainly you cannot play at home with original balls and pins, but you can evaluate the idea of making paper pins (or using rolls of kitchen paper), or get some soft pins or plastic pins and then use a sponge ball to hit them.
Game of the week or bell
It is a game that usually takes place outdoors, but which can also be revisited to play it indoors, for example by tracing the dials with the numbers on which to jump with colored tape.
Alternatively on our site you can find the jumping carpet .
Walk the wire
Also in this case it is enough to apply colored scotch tape to the floor, or a rope placed on the ground. The little ones are invited to walk the line while maintaining balance and concentration, and if the adults also participate in the challenge, the fun will be double.
Pantomime
The pantomime find it here. It is a sack that allows you to look outside without being seen and serves to strengthen children’s awareness of space, become aware of their own course and encourage creative movement. In addition to having fun while moving, it is a great support for overcoming the awe of public speaking.
Twister
A game for those who want to move and a dose of laughter guaranteed. Twister is also a keepsake for parents, who were children in the 1980s. A carpet with colored circles, a board indicating the colors to touch and whether to do it with your hands or feet, the effort necessary to avoid falling while the whole family gets tangled on the carpet. Twister is also available on our site.
Hide and seek
Let’s go to the classic. Movement and creativity at work to look for more and more particular and difficult to identify hiding places, and then run for safety (but always be careful with non-slip socks on your feet!).
Treasure hunt
Another great classic, which however can be enriched by the creativity of young and old. Maybe with tests to pass to get clues, such as hops or exercises to do on the floor. In short, the game can be integrated by inviting the little ones to perform useful movements to maintain muscle tone.
Home basketball
A foam ball and a basket can also be a box placed on a chair, table or other pieces of furniture, depending on the height of the child. Find our adjustable basket for the little ones here .
To dance
We close with one of the simplest and most fun movement activities to do at home: dancing. Choose together or in turns on which songs to let loose all bodyweight, to relax and smile.
