Lesson Age 4 – Week 43
To introduce the concept of narrow, wider, widest we tied two jump ropes to chairs and created a "river" between them. We didn't want to get wet in the river so we tried to jump over both ropes to the other site. As Fluttershy got better I would widen the ropes to make it more difficult and more of a challenge. And more fun as she tried to jump over it different ways. On occasion she did land in the river. But it was all fun.
This activity develops:
- Gross motor skills
- skills in jumping distance
- skills in distinguishing narrow, wider, widest
- listening skills
I found these neat shape block pictures at prekinders.com. We already had the shape blocks for our Saxon Math so this was a fun find to use with them. Both my girls really enjoyed creating pictures. 
Looks like lots of fun! Lol, my daughter calls herself Fluttershy.
