Learning Outcomes
This activity develops coordination and balance as kids try to imitate the movements of their parent or play partner.
Description Of Activity
In Mirror Mirror, two partners face each other. One person is the mirror master and makes body movements. The other person must copy or mirror the movements.
- For the first try, stand facing your child with a small space between you.
- As you wave your arms, jump, step, wiggle, bend or otherwise move, your child must try to mirror your movement.
- After your child has imitated you for a few minutes, let your child be the mirror master.
- Try different fundamental movements such as hopping, jumping, spinning, skipping, and running on the spot.
Variations
Try different movement themes. The mirror master can imagine he or she is a hockey player, a firefighter, James Bond, or anyone else who does a lot of moving.
