S.M.A.R.T. SPACES
0 Comments
Looking for some low-cost, movement-based birthday gifts and activities that promote physical activity and engagement? Here are a few ideas we think are pretty S.M.A.R.T.
The second clever twist was using paper birthday plates as hopscotch spots. Did you know that if you cut a slit in the plate and run it through the laminator, the plates will flatten out? A few pieces of velcro to the back, and you can set up a unique hopscotch pattern on a carpeted surface.
Themes do not need to be difficult and time-consuming to create excitement. Like Leslie, make sure your thematic twists are FUNctional and not fluff.

Having thematic twists in a birthday gift bag is guaranteed to create excitement for S.M.A.R.T. We recommend the following additions to S.M.A.R.T. core activities. Slap/Creep Track cards: Download these two different sets of cards and choose what is most appropriate for your class. Balance Beam: Add little birthday hats or gift boxes with ribbon as objects to step over on the beam. Hopscotch: See One S.M.A.R.T.
