ACTIVITY SPINNER
by
Linda Downs
| Purpose of Equipment: | The purpose of this activity spinner is to give a variety of locomotor movements. Each time the spinner stops, it will describe a movement using three locomotor skills. |
|---|---|
| How to Make It: | I made a large circle on the poster board base, and made 2 smaller circles on colored poster board. I drew off the the sections with a marker and labeled them. I then laminated the posters. I attached the spinner with a nut and bolt. I also made 2 additional smaller circles that can be used on the large circle for a broader variety of movements. |
| Costs: | 2 pieces of poster board $0.50 Lamination 1.50 nut and bolt had available $2.00 |
| How to Use It: | This can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used with a large or small group. You spin the spinner and it will point through 3 movements. Those 3 movements are called out and the children must do that movement combination. These can be used as a total group activity or team relays. Spin again and you will have another movement to call out. |
