Equipment needed:
5 white belts, one heavy ball, and one cone per line
Instructors needed:
One per line
Description:
The students will roll a heavy ball through a maze. This is great for helping the students build control, spatial awareness, gross motor skills, and hand-eye coordination.
Teaching SKILLZ: HEALTHY COMPETITION
Challenge students to complete the maze quickly with 3 year olds vs 4 year olds. Encourages engagement and pride without stress or pressure.
Brain SKILLZ: RESPONSE INHIBITION
Students must visually track the maze path and adjust movements accordingly to avoid touching the boundaries.
Step 1
Divide your students into lines.
Step 2
For each line you will need to lay out five white belts into a maze with a cone at the end of the maze.
Step 3 – Explain the Rules:
When I say “go” you will roll the ball through the maze.
Keep your hands on the ball at all times.
If you touch any part of the maze, then you must start over.
