Materials:
- Various pieces of felt cut into hearts
First, I placed the hearts around the room and had my littles run to the colored heart I called out ("Run to pink! Run to orange!"). Then, we added in jumping on various hearts.
Next, we placed the hearts in the sequence you see below and jumped from one heart to the other.
After that, I just followed their lead and we did several other activities with them. One girl lined the hearts up in a row and jumped from one to the other. Then, she would tell her sister "Jump to pink. Jump to blue, etc".
I love how simple yet effective this Valentine's themed gross motor activity is! It’s such a fun way for kids to stay active while learning. I also see how you could adapt this idea to include out of home advertising, where colorful hearts or fun shapes could be placed in public spaces to encourage people to move around. Imagine an outdoor version of this activity, where kids or adults could participate while walking or running from heart to heart! It’s a great way to combine physical activity with learning and play.
