The feet carry us everywhere. They are very important for us and can do so much. We consciously feel the feet while grasping and transporting objects. For children this is a special experience. Try out the exercises. They are fun and train the perception and the motor skills and at the end there is a ball massage. Enjoy!
Media Education for Kindergarten and Hort
Relief in everyday life, targeted promotion of individual children, independent learning and - without any pre-knowledge already usable by the youngest!
First crush the newsprint and put it together.
Then you put the paper in front of you and try to grab it with your feet. First the left foot, then the right foot.
Then you try to lift the newspaper so high that you can throw it in a box.
Also try to grab the newspaper once if it is not crushed.
Let the children experiment. What ideas do they develop?
Find several cups that you can stack together. Distribute them on the ground in front of you.
Then you grab one cup with your foot and try to stack it onto another. How many cups can you stack on each other?
You can, for example, stop the time and see who's as clever as stacking or who makes the tallest tower before it falls down.
What ideas do the children develop?
Put a rope in front of you and now try to transport this rope into a box.
You'll have to lift the rope and reach for it with your feet, and you'll need both feet.
Put some sponges in front of you. Try to grab them. Let the children find out for themselves how to grab the sponges with their feet.
The sponges must be grasped and transported simultaneously with both feet.
It's not just fun, it's also training your abs.
See what else you can grab and transport at home. For example, pens, cuddly toys or balls. Try out how to grab the items with your feet, whether you need a foot or both, whether they grip each other and match each other and how the objects feel. Are they soft or cold, slippery or edgy?
At the end you massage your feet with a ball. For this you choose a small ball and roll it back and forth with one foot. Then change your feet.
Then roll the ball from left to right and back again. Start with one foot and then change foot.
Then you try to roll the ball with both feet. Roll a large circle or a square.
Do the kids have any ideas?
Have fun feeling, feeling, grasping, transporting and experimenting!
Would you like to end up throwing the ball in the box?
