How well does this child manipulate the ball by throwing, kicking, bouncing, etc.? How well does he follow directions for this activity? How well does this child persist with this activity?
Why is this Important:
A large ball presents a new challenge for a child who is learning to coordinate his arms and legs together. Learning to grasp, throw, and catch such an oversized object will help him refine his gross-motor abilities and apply those skills to ordinary movements and activities.
Materials:
large inflated ball
What To Do:
Invite this child to explore a large inflated ball outside. Make sure the ball is clean and well inflated. Allow him to play freely with the ball before demonstrating additional ways the ball can be used, such as kicking, pushing, bouncing, etc. Offer to use the ball with this child in various ways. You rolled the ball to me. Now I'll roll it back to you. Can you roll it to me again? Offer encouragement when he attempts a new technique with the ball. You picked up that big ball and threw it! Continue the activity for as long as this child is interested. Explain that the ball will be available to use at a time.
