Fantastic Drivers

One activity that we love to play allows us to drive all over the gym! In order to develop spatial awareness and to develop control, coordination and balance in our movements, we move around the gym by following the lines on the gym floor (it also helps us to become more familiar with the gym itself).

We walk or jog ("drive") on the lines while watching out for our peers. If we come across one of our peers on the road, we get to honk our horns and pass one another. There are also some challenges in this game - we might have to run on the spot if our tires are stuck in the mud or do jumping jacks like windshield wipers if it is raining. If we are doing a lot of driving, we might even run out of gas!
