3. Using the  50_Fun_Ways_to_Get_from_Here_to_There_(1).pdf  handout from the Inspired Treehouse, have a scavenger hunt (eg. hop to find something that you wear that is red, jump to find something round in the living room, march and find a toy that is green, etc.)

5. Try this bean bag balance activity from Pink Oatmeal.  If you do not have bean bags you can do it with a lego, puzzle piece, or a small flat toy.  Other ideas use unrolled socks, filled smaller zip lock bags with rice or small pasta (maybe tape the ends of these bags) and put the bag in a sock to make your own bean bag.  Vary the height of where your child needs to lift his or her foot with different buckets.  

6. These videos talk about 5 different gross motor activities you can do with plastic eggs.
