Then off you go on an adventurous walk. Who knows where you will end up? Our neighborhood is filled with hills, so we got a real workout, besides reviewing our lefts and rights.

Teaching Left and Right
This is a fun way to reinforce the directions of left and right. First, you make two cards with left and right on them. Add arrows to help give the child a visual. Then write "heads" on one card and "tails" on the other.
Now take a quarter and head out on a walk. At each intersection let a child flip the quarter. If you get heads you go left, or tails you go right.
Then off you go on an adventurous walk. Who knows where you will end up? Our neighborhood is filled with hills, so we got a real workout, besides reviewing our lefts and rights.
The kids loved the mystery of not knowing which way we would turn at each intersection. This was a great way to add some intrigue into the same old neighborhood walk.

I agree with your mom! :) What a great idea. We have a tough time with remembering left and right, and seem to need frequent reminders. What a fun way to learn!
ReplyDeleteHow cleaver! What a wonderful adventure. I am tucking this idea away for grandkids and bible games at church.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your mom too! Love this idea. We have so many cul-de-sacs in our neighborhood though that we may end up doing a lot of backtracking. Still sounds like fun though!
