Ideas for children – 20.5.20

Draw your favourite move!

This BBC Children in Need Joe Wicks Draw your favourite move activity! is an ideal way to support your children to get more exercise. They can make up a move or use one they know and feel they are good at. They would draw this move and then say how they will make sure they carry on doing it. It might be that they will do their favourite move to help them to exercise first thing in the morning, after lunch or at some other time of the day.

The resources in this resource pack will give you everything you need to make a homemade board game.

Board games are a great activity to support your child’s learning of different subjects, or just to play for fun!
