Collect the Flags Race
Parent and child race to collect colored flags spread around a room, practicing running with control and quick turns. The agent coaches the parent to observe running form, turning technique, and motor coordination — building gross motor skills through playful competition.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Open space clear of obstacles (living room, hallway, or yard). Prepare 8 flags: cut colored paper in half, tape a straw to each to make flag poles. Spread flags around the space with distance between them. Assign colors: one color for parent, one for child.
How it works
The 3-step guide, with what to look for at each step, is for signed-in parents.
