Jumping in Puddles
Learning Outcomes
Children will practice jumping and hopping skills.
Children will improve leg strength and coordination.
Description Of Activity
Create "puddles" (hoops or mats on the floor). Children will hop from puddle to puddle without touching the floor in between.
Variations
Add a challenge by making the "puddles" farther apart.
Have children hop in different ways (e.g., hopping on one foot).
Coaching Tips
Demonstrate how to bend knees before jumping.
Encourage children to land softly with bent knees for safety.
Start with smaller jumps and gradually increase the distance.
Equipment/Material Required
Hula hoops or mats (for puddles).
