Movement is a powerful tool in the growth and development of your child. Movement keeps the mind and body healthy. It builds a stronger brain and supports emotional stability.
But is ANY kind of movement beneficial? In our S.M.A.R.T. program, children are exposed to purposeful, specific movement designed to stimulate and mature areas of the brain necessary for success in school. Each month, we strive to provide hands-on, practical S.M.A.R.T. strategies that can be done at home. This month, we are happy to share a fun game that uses these same types of movements, which target the development of critical foundational skills. Children of all ages can play this game that pairs a movement or action with the letters in their name. The movements help spell their name. Older children can use this activity to practice spelling their middle or last name. You can even use this as a fun brain break when practicing spelling or vocabulary words! Print out the game and post on your refrigerator for a fun, interactive, and S.M.A.R.T. family activity. Oh yes, and you may just find that your child is S.M.A.R.T.er and able to attend to their homework better after using some of these movements. Download: smart_name_game_.pdf
