Sensory circuits

Physical Education

• The child learned about different sensory circuits and how they can help improve focus and attention.
• They learned various movements and exercises that target different sensory systems, such as balancing, jumping, and crawling.
• The child learned how sensory circuits can be a fun and engaging way to incorporate physical activity into their daily routine.
• They learned about the importance of sensory breaks and how they can help regulate emotions and behavior.

For continued development, encourage the child to create their own sensory circuit routines. They can come up with new movements and exercises to target different sensory systems, and even involve their friends or family members in the activity. They can also explore different sensory materials and props to enhance their circuits, such as balance boards, therapy balls, or sensory bins filled with different textures.
