Hop, Skip, Jump: An Adventure in Movement!

Welcome to the Hop, Skip, Jump Adventure! Get ready to move your body and discover the world around you through some fun physical activities!

Why Move?

Movement is a great way to stay healthy and energized. It helps build strong muscles and bones, and it’s a lot of fun! Plus, when you hop, skip, and jump, you can explore your surroundings in a whole new way.

Step 1: Get Started

1. Find a Safe Space: Look for an open area like a park, field, or your backyard. Make sure there’s plenty of room to move around!
2. Warm Up: Before you start jumping around, do some gentle stretches to warm up your muscles. Reach for the sky, touch your toes, and twist your body side to side.

Step 2: The Hop, Skip, Jump Challenge

1. Hop 10 Steps Forward: Start hopping! Use both feet together and count out loud as you hop forward ten steps.
2. Skip 5 Steps to the Right: Now, it’s time to skip! Skip to the right for five steps. Remember to alternate your feet and have fun with it!
3. Jump 3 Times to the Left: Finally, jump three times to the left! Use your arms to help you jump high.

Step 3: Discover What’s in Front of You

1. Look Around: After you hop, skip, and jump, take a moment to look at what’s in front of you. What do you see? Are there interesting plants, animals, or objects?
2. Take Notes: Write down or draw what you see in your adventure notebook. This is a great way to remember your discoveries!
