Little Bodies Big Moves

My name is Taylor Davis, and I am an occupational therapy doctoral student. As part of the doctoral capstone experience, I have created this 8-week program for preschool-age children. The idea for the program came from speaking with a school-based occupational therapist. After speaking with her, I wanted to provide preschool teachers with multiple tools in order to lead a structured, teacher-led motor skills program in the classroom. ​

 

The movements require minimal equipment for improved ease. The necessary materials include balls, baskets/bins, balance beams, tape, and optional printables.

 

Little bodies big moves is a structured, teacher-led movement program; therefore, the Youtube videos are available to assist with the weekly activities but are not intended to replace teacher instruction.
