Blowing Pom-Poms on a Line
Setting: in a
large open area such as a living room or cleared out classroom
Materials:
Pom Poms
Straw
Different
colored masking or duct-tape
Instructions:
Tape down different colored duct tape on
the floor in different directions.
Take a pom-pom that matches the color tapeline
and blow it with a straw along the line.
Do the best you can to keep the pom-pom
on the line while blowing it.
Purpose: This activity encourages regulation of
oral motor. Fine motor skills and color recognition is used in order to chose
the correct color for the right colored tapeline. Use of the straw encourages
more oral motor control by regulating the amount of breath that is used in
order to push the pom pom along with line yet not too much to push it off of
the line. Oral control is necessary for expanding speech. Gross motor control
is used to follow the ball along the line on the floor.
