Kindergarten readiness can be part of the game anytime and anywhere, including at the Super Bowl. With the big game tomorrow will your family be watching?
Balls that are football-shapes are quite tricky for little hands; round ones are easier and can be various sizes. At the park, or just in the backyard, grownups and kids can play catch. Throw and catch sounds like a simple game, but there’s lots of different kinds of learning.
- The my-turn then your-turn helps kids practice this important social skill.
- The two actions of catching and throwing form a pattern and patterning is a critical learning strategy.
- Back and forth is very similar to give and take, which is the basis of relationships.
- Plus, there’s eye-hand coordination, and exercise for muscles.
- Having fun, and playing throw and catch, connects kids to adults, and kids to outside.
