Bats & Spiders Move & Learn Gross Motor Games

$3.50

Spiders and bats are themes that help transition your themes from early to middle fall! These printable games build strength, movement, coordination, balance, and skills that help with every day big kid tasks.  The move and learn activities are a great addition to the classroom or at home to help get the wiggles out, strengthen gross motor skills, and set up a positive learning environment for all types of learners.  And they are just plain fun!

And the gross motor games include more than just classic insects – so they are even more fun!

The move & learn activities all include gross motor practice which is key to developing every day skills (getting out of bed, eating, getting dressed, playing sports, sitting in a seat at school, carrying a backpack, and more!) needed to be a successful big kid.

They are set up to go along with your spring, summer, camping, and outdoor themes and can easily be added to circle time or a transition time during your day.  The gross motor games are designed for 3-6 year-olds.

The Bats & Spiders Gross Motor Games will soon be another set in our ENDLESS Themed Gross Motor Games Bundle.
