Backyard games day: a play idea for 4 and 5 year olds

You need: a bucket, sock balls, chalk or sticks for lines.

1. Set up three events: hop on one foot, throw sock balls into a bucket, run backward to a line.
2. Each person has a turn at every event.
3. Count hops and baskets for each player.
4. Finish with a cheer for everyone.

Builds: moving and using hands and social and emotional. Events with turns teach waiting, trying hard and being a good sport.
