¿Busca formas de mantener a los niños en movimiento y activos? Tal vez necesites algunas ideas para jugar dentro de casa. Tal vez busque actividades de movimiento para los niños cuando no sea posible salir de casa. Los niños ya no se mueven como antes. ¿Necesitas algunas formas de añadir actividades de movimiento a cada día? Añadir pausas de movimiento adicionales o pausas cerebrales en el aula o simplemente el juego diario puede ser una herramienta útil para mejorar las habilidades subyacentes que los niños necesitan para fortalecerse o simplemente para obtener la información sensorial que anhelan y necesitan para desarrollarse. A veces, es tan sencillo como idear un movimiento creativo. Otras veces, los niños juegan a los mismos juegos de motricidad gruesa favoritos una y otra vez. Estas actividades mensuales de movimiento sensorial proporcionan la información sensorial y el movimiento motor grueso que los niños necesitan.

<p><span style=”background-color: white;”><span style=”color: #222222; font-family: ‘arimo’ , sans-serif;”><span style=”font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;”>Add a few of the occupational therapy activities in this post into your therapy line-up. Having a few monthly themed activities for therapy can make the routines less boring and a great way to throw a wrench at the burnout machine. </span></span></span></p>
<p>Use the lists below to inspire therapy plans for the month or weeks ahead. Simply add the theme into your occupational therapy activities for the week. Then, use specific graded activities to meet the needs of each child on your caseload. This strategy can help in planning OT activities in the clinic or school-based interventions. (And, having a theme set up for the week totally helps with carting items from place to place in that trunk of yours, too!)</p>
<h2>Monthly Movement Activities for Kids</h2>
<p><span style=”background-color: white;”><span style=”color: #222222; font-family: ‘arimo’ , sans-serif;”><span style=”font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;”>Kids love a fresh occupational therapy activity, too. Adding a fresh and fun new game or activity can make a rainy indoor day more fun or can bring a little something different to a sunny afternoon outdoors. The best thing about these movement and play ideas is that they provide all of the right kind of <a href=”https://www.theottoolbox.com/how-to-help-kids-pay-attention-sensory-movement/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>sensory movement</a> input that kids need to pay better attention, calm down, or self-regulate. Use these activity ideas as movement activities for preschoolers in planning lessons that meet movement needs. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style=”background-color: white;”><span style=”color: #222222; font-family: ‘arimo’ , sans-serif;”><span style=”font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;”>The movement activities listed below are play ideas that promote proprioceptive input, vestibular input, gross motor skills, <a href=”https://www.theottoolbox.com/proprioception-activities-improves-body-awareness/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>body awareness</a>, <a href=”https://www.theottoolbox.com/fine-motor-skills/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>fine motor skills</a>, visual motor integration, <a href=”https://www.theottoolbox.com/bilateral-coordination-activities/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener noreferrer”>bilateral coordination</a>, crossing midline, core strengthening, motor planning, and so much more. Best of all, they are FUN! </span></span></span></p>
<h2>Movement activities for Preschoolers</h2>
<p>In the preschool setting, there is often an emphasis on writing letters. However, there is a much more important area that needs addressing…movement! Adding movement activities for preschoolers in learning builds the underlying skills that are many times, lacking in preschool-aged kids, and beyond. By adding movement activities to the preschool classroom, kids can learn letters, colors, numbers, and more through movement, and really gain that kinesthetic learning component.</p>
<p><span style=”color: #222222; font-family: ‘arimo’ , sans-serif;”><span style=”background-color: white;”>Given that so many kids are spending more time on screens and have less opportunities to play outside, I wanted to provide a big old list of movement pay ideas that can be incorporated into every day of the year! These ideas cover each month and have themes but can be expanded on so that every day of every month is covered. </span></span></p>
<h2>occupational therapy games and activity list</h2>
<p><span style=”color: #222222; font-family: ‘arimo’ , sans-serif;”><span style=”background-color: white;”>Therapists will love to use these movement activities as home programs or as part of therapy interventions. Adding themed activities is a fun way to work on specific skills or goals using occupational therapy games with this activity list.</span></span></p>
<p><span style=”color: #222222; font-family: ‘arimo’ , sans-serif;”><span style=”background-color: white;”>Teachers could sneak some of these movement ideas into the school day as brain breaks, indoor recess activities, or movement breaks to improve attention. </span></span><br /><span style=”color: #222222; font-family: ‘arimo’ , sans-serif;”><span style=”background-color: white;”><br /></span></span>The list below separates each month into themed sets of activities that can be used in handwriting, gross motor games, fine motor activities, sensory movement activities, movement breaks, and more.</p>
<p><span style=”color: #222222; font-family: ‘arimo’ , sans-serif;”><span style=”background-color: white;”>Parents will love adding these activities into everyday of the year to get the kid active and moving both indoors and outdoors! </span></span></p>
