It’s the end of the school year and summer is so close that you can taste it. All the great activities of the summer lay ahead. The problem is there are a few things that need to be done before the school year ends! The kids are having trouble sitting still, but can you blame them? A solution to your problem could be letting the kids get up and move! Using fishing themed motor activities are a great way to make it through those last few days of school. They are also great to incorporate into those fishing units!
Fishing Themed Motor Activities and Brain Breaks
The great thing about fishing themed motor activities and brain break ideas is that the number of repetitions, distance, and duration of time can easily be adjusted based on your needs! I like to make sure the kids are working hard and getting re-energized! These ideas are designed to be fast, effective, and efficient! If you really love these you can buy a set of ready made fishing cards in the shop or my Teachers Pay Teachers store!
