OK- here is the book of all books for our Tumbling Tuesdays. It is called “Unplugged Play” and is written by Bobbi Conner. A fabulous collection of some fun games to play with your child from ages 1 to 10.
Here are some games that I think sound like fun:
- kitchen soccer
- romper roll
- beanbag basket toss
- tunnel tube
- pillowcase surprise
- hallway bag ball
- duckie dip
- outdoor box ball
- bumper ball
- teddy says
- beanbag toss
- roll it, toss it
- ringer ball, ring a ding soccer
- toddler basketball
- zoom zoom zoom
- follow the leader
- one two three. hop like me
- toddler tag
- stop and go dancing
It doesn’t stop here…..in fact, this book has over 700 activities to do with your child! From arts, playdates, family nights….. this book has ideas for them all! This was truly a diamond found at the library!!!
Yesterday for Tumbling Tuesday (OK, yesterday was Wednesday….but Tuesday I was sick in bed all day so we are making up for lost time!) I taught my Boo how to play tag. She LOVES it. I had “it” wear a scarf so she would remember who “it” was. That really helped out a lot. We ran around the house until we were both out of breath and in need of a drink break. And who knows…maybe in the process of playing with my daughter, I burned some calories!
Happy Teaching!
I like your site. I love teaching my kids at home too and books help a lot. I posted your button on my blog- Just a Mom, Reading to My Kids. You can find it here: http://iwritechildrensbooks.blogspot.com/
We have this book too! It’s great, though i think it’s time to pull it out again and refresh our activities.
Great blog. Love this book, too. Has so many neat ideas.
