SANTA Move & Learn Gross Motor Games

$3.50

Santa Claus is coming to town! And he’s bringing along a bunch of super fun gross motor move and learn games to play in preschool, pre-k, and kindergarten.  The printable Santa Gross Motor Games encourage movement, coordination, balance, and skills that help with every day big kid tasks.  These 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.

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 Christmas theme at the beginning of the wintry season 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 Santa Gross Motor Games are the next set in our ENDLESS Themed Gross Motor Games Bundle.
