and PLAY!!

Pom-poms
Straws
Craft sticks

Party blowers
Ping pong balls
Rubber bands and push pins

String
Empty containers

Movement
It's also important to keep kids moving! Movement is what builds strong brain connections,
teaches them about their bodies and keeps kids regulated. Here are some great ideas for the
whole family!
Balloon games
o Soccer- use feet only
o Use just 1-arm or alternate left and right
o No hands (elbows, heads, shoulder, knees only!)
o Count how many times they can keep it up- you can build on this skill and do it
with 1-arm or no hands or feet only or head only!
o Use rackets/pool noodles to hit back and forth or to a wall
o Juggling- keep more than 1 balloon up at a time
