Spring Gross Motor Skills This Activity Supports

This jumping challenge supports a range of foundational movement skills:

• Gross motor skills
• Bilateral coordination
• Balance and coordination
• Motor planning
• Core strength
• Body awareness
• Focus and attention

Jumping activities require children to coordinate both sides of the body, control their movements in space, and maintain balance through repeated transitions. These foundational skills support participation in recess, physical education, and daily activities.

How to Use This Spring Gross Motor Activity

This printable works well in a variety of settings:

• Occupational therapy or physical therapy sessions as a warm-up or movement break
• Classroom use as an indoor recess activity, brain break, or physical education warm-up
• Fine motor centers or early finishers looking for an active challenge
• Home use for kids who need a movement outlet on rainy spring days

Tips and Variations

For younger children or those newer to jumping, walk through each challenge together before asking them to complete the repetitions independently. Demonstrating the movement first, especially for Jumps and Cross Feet or Jump and Turns, helps children understand what is expected before they try on their own.

For an added challenge, ask children to slow down and complete each set with control rather than rushing through all 80 repetitions. Emphasizing quality of movement over speed encourages better motor planning and body awareness.

To extend the use of this printable, laminate the page and let children check off each challenge with a dry-erase marker. You can also use it as a tracking sheet across multiple sessions, encouraging children to improve their form or complete all eight challenges within a set time.
