Objective
By the end of this lesson, the student will be able to improve their balance and coordination skills through line walking activities using a spoon and a bowl of LEGOS that match the lines of the tapes.
Materials and Prep
Materials needed: Tape to create lines on the floor, a spoon, a bowl of LEGOS that match the colors of the tapes.
Prep: Create straight lines using the tape on the floor with enough space between them for the student to walk along.
Activities
1. Line Walking: Encourage the student to walk along the lines on the floor while balancing a spoon with a LEGO on it. Make it more challenging by changing the direction of the lines.
2. Color Matching: Ask the student to place the LEGO on the spoon onto the matching colored tape line. This activity combines coordination and color recognition.
3. Obstacle Course: Create a simple obstacle course using the tape lines and have the student navigate through it while balancing the spoon and LEGO.
