EYFS Gross motor activity ideas | 教你玩转幼儿大肌肉运动创意游戏-冠萃教育

Gross motor skill is one of the essential development goals for children in Early Childhood Education. According to “The Guidelines”， children's balance, movement coordination and agility, strength and endurance need to be well developed. Similarly, when comes to the physical development, the EYFS indicates that children should improve their moving and handling skills, for example, “Jumps off an object and lands appropriately”, “Negotiates space successfully when playing racing and chasing games with other children, adjusting speed or changing direction to avoid obstacles”， “Experiments with different ways of moving”.

幼儿大肌肉运动能力的发展是学前教育阶段重要的发展目标之一。《3-6岁儿童学习与发展指南》中指出幼儿的平衡能力、动作的协调性和敏捷性以及力量和耐力都需要得到良好的发展。同样地，在身体发展方面，EYFS 也认为幼儿需要获得运动与操作能力的发展，例如：“能够从一个物品上跳过去并且双脚稳稳地着地。”，“在与其他幼儿玩追赶游戏时能够通过调整速度或改变方向来躲避障碍物”以及“尝试不同的移动方式”等。

To achieve the development goals above, teachers should organise various gross motor activities. However, sometimes it is challenging for teachers to design a variety of games because of the lack of creativety .

为了实现以上发展目标，教师需要在有足够空间的场地内组织各种各样的游戏活动，这些活动都可以被称为“大肌肉运动游戏”。草地、空气、蓝天、阳光、可爱的孩子一切都准备就绪，但是为什么有些时候开展活动的效果并没有达到预期呢？是缺少必要的器械和材料？还是缺少了一点点小心思呢？

Today, we are here to share eight creative gross motor activities with you.

今天是干货放送时间！快来看看小编给大家准备的八个创意无极限的大肌肉运动游戏吧。

Play with shadow 踩影子

Materials: space, sunny

材料：活动场地、阳光

Places：outdoor

地点：室外

Rule:Chasing and stepping on other children’s shadows.

玩法：追逐、踩其他小朋友的影子。

Play with shadow is a classic outdoor game, which is interesting and operable. Through this activity, children not only develop running and jumping skills but improve their coordination and agility. Most importantly, children can experience the charm of light and shadow.

踩影子是经典的户外运动游戏，简单易操作，趣味性又强，深受老师和小朋友的喜爱。在游戏过程中，幼儿不仅可以发展跑、跳等移动能力，身体的协调能力和敏捷性也能得到锻炼，***重要的是还能感受光与影的魅力。

Extend: From free play to group competition.

延伸：从自由玩耍到设置规则分小组进行记分比拼。

Sharks and fish

鲨鱼吃小鱼

Materials: space

材料：活动场地

Places: indoor/outdoor

地点：室内/室外

Rule: One child acts as a shark to “catch” the other children who act as small fish. The small fish “swim” within the specified area. When hearing the instruction “sharks!”, the shark starts to catch fish. Child who is caught will act as the shark in the next round.

玩法：一名幼儿扮演鲨鱼“抓捕”其他扮演小鱼的幼儿。“小鱼”在规定范围内自由跑动，手作游泳划水状；“鲨鱼”听到“Sharks!”指令后用手臂一张一合假装大嘴冲进鱼群进行“捕食”，被抓到的幼儿需要在下一回合扮演鲨鱼。

“Baby shark”. We can turn the scene in the song into reality by playing this game. Therefore, children are able to enjoy the fun of role play, and also promote their gross motor skills through running.

相信在很多幼儿园，歌曲“Baby shark”深受小朋友和大朋友的喜爱。让我们延续幼儿的兴趣，将鲨鱼追赶小鱼的场景真实上演。既可以让幼儿体验角色扮演的乐趣，又可以促使幼儿通过跑步、躲闪锻炼自己的大肌肉运动能力。

Extend: Make the action more challenging, for example, turn running to one-leg jumping.

延伸：让幼儿自由创编动作，或教师指定动作增加难度，如：双脚跳跃、单脚跳跃。

Where do you stand?

比大小

Materials: Chalks, materials that have relative size difference, place

材料：粉笔或其他可以划定区域的工具、有相对大小差异的材料、活动场地

Places: indoor/outdoor

地点：室内/室外

Rule: Mark "big" area, "small" area and a starting line on the ground with chalk. The teacher takes out two objects of different sizes and asks the children "Is it big or small?" After observation, children choose and run into the answer area.

玩法：用粉笔在地面上标记出“大”区，“小”区和一条起跑线，教师拿出两个有相对大小差异的物体，并向幼儿提问“Is it big or small?”，幼儿观察后进行选择，跑进相应的答案区。

This activity can be designed into different way based on the current activity theme, such as distinguishing between odd and even numbers, classifying fruit and vehicles etc. Children can not only consolidate the content they learned, but also practice responsiveness and agility.

诸如此类的分类游戏还有很多，“比大小”只是冰山一角，例如：区分奇偶数、分类水果和交通工具等。教师可以结合所在班级当下的探究主题对分类游戏进行设计。通过玩耍，幼儿不仅可以对所学内容进行巩固，还能锻炼自身的反应力和敏捷性。

Extend: Set challenging and meaningful questions.

延伸：根据幼儿情况设置具有挑战性和学习意义的问题。

Balloon-a-ball

垫气球

Materials: Balloons, the net/wire

材料：气球、球网/线

Places: indoor

地点：室内

Rule: Divide children into two groups, to see which group of children can keep the balloon without falling to the ground?

玩法：将幼儿分成两组，由教师发令将气球抛到空中，看看哪组幼儿能够保持气球不落地？

This game is more suitable for the first-grade children, while the elder children can imitate the volleyball player to have a competition. Through playing, hand-eye coordination and jumping ability can be effectively developed.

看到这里，可能有些教师和家长朋友会想：“垫气球这么简单，我的娃早都会了。”没错，保持气球不落地的活动更适合低年龄阶段的幼儿，而对于中大班的幼儿，教师需要架设排球网或线，鼓励他们将气球拍打过网并且不落地，模仿电视里的排球运动员。通过该游戏，幼儿的手眼协调和跳跃能力可以得到有效发展。

Extend: Group competition.

延伸：开展正式比赛，两组幼儿通过比拼记分决出***。

The runway train

开火车

Materials: arch doors, arch Bridges, tires and other sports equipment can be used as obstacles.

材料：拱形门、拱形桥、轮胎等可以作为障碍物的体育器材

Places: outdoor

地点：室外

Rule: Children form a train one by one and running in the defined track.

玩法：幼儿以扶着前面小朋友的肩膀或扶着腰的方式组成小火车，在规定的“轨道”行驶。

Making a train is a popular approach to help children line up. This game can also be played as a gross motor activity in outdoor. Children can fully develop their balance, agility, endurance and other physical skills by avoiding obstacles.

“开火车”只是被用来培养幼儿的排队常规未免有点大材小用，不妨把我们的小火车开到户外，开到精心设计过的“轨道”上跑一跑。幼儿可以通过躲避障碍物***发展自身平衡力、敏捷性、耐力等身体运动能力。

Extend: Group competition or makes the obstacles more challenging.

延伸：分小组进行比赛，或使摆设的障碍物更具挑战性。

Red light, Green light

红灯停，绿灯行

Materials: space

材料：活动场地

Places: indoor/outdoor

地点：室内/室外

Rule: reference “123 iceman”and “What time is it? Mr. Wolf”.

玩法：同“123木头人”和“老狼老狼几点了？”

We believe that many parents have childhood memory about this kind of activities. Children can promote their ability of observation and listening through playing. Besides, their gross motor skills can also be practiced.

小编想把此类游戏称为“怀旧”游戏，相信很多大朋友都拥有相关的童年记忆。游戏方式古老，但是它们的教育意义常青哦。幼儿可以在放飞自我的同时，培养观察和倾听的专注力，其跑跳等运动能力的发展也得到了满足。

Extend: Makes the actions at “pause” time more challenging.

延伸：教师可以规定幼儿“定住”时刻的动作，如：单腿站立，双手抱头蹲下等。

Snake in the alley

农夫与蛇

Materials: Hula hoop

材料：呼啦圈

Places: outdoor

地点：室外

Rule: Divide the children into two groups (no more than 5 people in each group). One group is a "snake", standing in a hula hoop (moving range) in a straight line at a certain interval; the other group as a farmer needs an "S" shape to pass through the "snake valley" without being caught.

玩法：将幼儿分成两组（每组不超过5人），一组当“蛇”，按照一定的间隔站在摆成直线的呼啦圈里（活动范围）；另一组作为农夫需要“S”形穿过“蛇谷”不被抓住。

Outdoor games can also be full of imagination. We believe many children have heard their parents tell the story “The farmer and snake”. This activity not only can cultivate children's awareness of rules, but also promote children to master the way of "S" shape movement.

户外运动游戏也可以充满想象力，相信许多小朋友都听爸爸妈妈讲过《农夫与蛇》的故事，我们会不会被冷酷无情的毒蛇吃掉呀？通过这个游戏，既可以培养幼儿的规则意识，又可以促使幼儿掌握“S”形移动的方式。

Extend: Narrows the space between the hula hoops.

延伸：缩小呼啦圈之间的间隔。

Rock, paper, scissors-with leg

石头、剪刀、布

Materials: space

材料：活动场地

Places: outdoor

地点：室外

Rule: Three children in a group and follow the instruction from the teacher.

玩法：三名幼儿为一组，由教师发出目标指令，幼儿按照指令做出相应动作。剪刀-两腿分开与肩同宽；石头-原地蹲下缩成一团；布-双脚原地跳跃立定。

This activity changes the way of the traditional “Paper, paper and scissors” activity that children can exercise their full body in this new game.

“石头、剪刀、布”只用手来表示多多少少有点缺少创意，从今天开始我们就把它变成一个全身性的运动游戏吧。

Extend: Let children become instructors or do team competitions.

延伸：让幼儿作为指令发布者或让幼儿进行两两对决三局两胜。
