Hopscotch Word Jump
Parent creates a hopscotch board with simple words and takes turns with child jumping to different squares. The agent coaches the parent to observe one-foot hopping balance, backward jumping coordination, and gross motor sequencing — building physical confidence and playful literacy connections.
Free to do together whenever you like.
What you'll need
Flat outdoor surface (sidewalk, driveway, patio). Colored tape or chalk to draw hopscotch board. 2-3 small pebbles or beanbags. Write simple words starting with 'F' in each square (frog, fork, fan, feet, fish, etc.).
