Connecting movement with readiness skills during physical activity plays an important role in the preschool environment.
To create an environment which integrates school readiness and physical activity, incorporate the following:
Colors
Use manipulatives of various basic colors.
Shapes
Use spot markers, hoops, and parachutes for circle recognition. Use ribbon hoops, scarves, and ropes to form shapes.
Relationships
Provide opportunities to identify and use a variety of relationships with objects (e.g.; near/far, over/ under, on/off, around/through).
Body Part Identification
Provide opportunities to identify and use a various body parts.
Patterns
Set up manipulatives in various patterns (i.e., red, blue, red, blue or red-blue-blue, red-blue-blue) for children to identify basic patterns.
Art
Use art to reinforce knowledge of colors, pathways, relationships, shapes, and sizes learned during physical activity.
Listening Skills
Provide opportunities to develop listening skills (i.e., start and stop signals, simple cues, and multi-step instructions).
