What is a great book and activity to promote physical develpment for 3's / 4's.?

Question

The book has to promote physical activity.

Thank you.

Answer 1

I would suggest Goldilocks and the 3 bears. They can do motions as you read.

A fine motor activity would be to lace clothes onto the 3 bears and little girl. All you need is poster board, crayons and laces. Cut out bears and girl, color, cut out clothes. Put holes in them (in the same spot or it wont match up) and they lace 'em.

Answer 2

Why does it have to be a book?  Do a version of Easter Egg Hunt, except what they find has educational meeting.  If the weather outside is too severe, you can still do this activity indoors. If you plan out a simple "seek and find", and THEN tell them the lessons of the objects they have found, then you have accomplished two goals in one.  The kids will run around like crazy, whether indoors or outdoors,  to find the items, (so don't make the items too easy of a place to find), and then they will be curious as to what they have found, and that's where the learning kicks in.

Answer 3

don't put your garbage in my back yard its full

Answer 4

If you have to have a book attached to this activity I highly recommend "Going on a Bear Hunt."  This book has great illustrations and as you read, your group can all act out the parts.  Going on a Bear Hunt is classic 3/4 group activity, and you probably know this one without the book.

For a book with pictures of children doing physical activies I recommend the Let's Explore Science series book "Make It Go" by David Evans and Claudette Williams.

Good luck! Have fun!

Answer 5

Are there books out there for Jojo's circus?

Answer 6

It's not a book but you can use "Greg and Steve" cd's.

It's better than a book and kids love it.
