"Balance & Coordination" Unit - CAHOOTS KIDFIT LESSON PLANS
This play-based curriculum provides activity options for two weeks of lesson plans. Children will participate in games, sports, and mindfulness activities while learning to move, love their bodies and develop gross motor skills. Perfect for group settings (big or small), our lessons foster both social and emotional learning.
The "Balance & Coordination" unit introduces children between the ages of 3-7 to balance, coordination, and developing gross motor skills. Active games, gymnastics and sports are utilized to help children practice balance and coordination and teach them a love for exercise.
Each Cahoots KidFit "Flexible Format" lesson plan is customizable in length and frequency, allowing you to decide how long each class is and adapt to how many classes you need per week (anywhere from 1 to 5).
