Roll a Ball

Objective

Roll a Ball stimulates the children’s tactile sense. At the same time, the game is relaxing and the children practise a range of concepts related to the body.

Instructions

  1. Let the child lie down on his/her stomach. The adult rolls a ball over the child’s body.
  2. The adult talks to the child, whilst telling him/her which part of the body he/she is rolling the ball over.
  3. Perhaps the children could try to roll a ball on each other?

Tips

  • Preferably put on some calm background music.
