What’s Included in This Active Kids Printable

This free sample includes Active A, B, and C posters to encourage physical activity and exercise, plus a cover page previewing the complete alphabet packet. Here is what you will find:

  • A cover page previews the complete A to Z Active Kids packet, available in full color and black and white at yourtherapysource.com.
  • The Animal Walks page shows a child in a bear walk position, four animal movements to try (bear walk, crab walk, frog hop, and duck walk), and a benefits box highlighting strength, coordination, and body awareness.
  • The Balance page features a child balancing on one foot with a “Try It!” box that walks kids through holding a position, switching feet, and adding a challenge.
  • Four balance examples are pictured on the Balance page: one foot stand, walking on a line, balance beam, and surfing.
  • The Catch page shows a child catching a ball with a tips box reminding kids to watch the ball, keep their hands ready, and use soft hands.
  • Four ways to catch are illustrated on the Catch page: two hands, one hand, clap catch, and bounce catch.

Skills This Active Kids Activity Supports

Every page in this Active Kids sample asks children to move their whole body, which supports several important developmental skills.

  • gross motor skills, the foundation for every activity in the packet, from an animal walk to a catch
  • balance and coordination, practiced directly through one foot stands and dynamic positions
  • core strength, built through animal walks like the bear walk and crab walk that call on trunk and shoulder stability
  • eye-hand coordination, the main focus of the Catch page as kids track and respond to a moving ball
  • motor planning, needed to turn a picture or cue into a full body movement
  • focus and attention, called out directly on the Balance and Catch pages as kids concentrate to hold a position or track a ball

These skills carry over well beyond a single printable. Strong core muscles and balance support the posture children need for handwriting, and eye-hand coordination and focus help with sports, daily routines, and classroom tasks that call for sustained attention.

How to Use This Active Kids Activity

This sample packet fits easily into many settings.

  • Occupational therapy or physical therapy sessions as a quick warm up or gross motor station
  • Classroom brain breaks, indoor recess, or a movement based transition between lessons
  • Home use as a rainy day activity or an after school energy break
  • Small group or one on one practice to target a specific skill like balance or catching

Tips and Variations

For younger children, demonstrate each animal walk or balance position first so they have a clear picture to copy. Keep balance holds short, around five seconds, and build up the time as they gain confidence.

For an added challenge, have kids try each animal walk in a straight line or a timed relay with a partner. On the Catch page, increase the distance between partners or switch to a smaller ball once basic catching feels steady.

Laminate the pages to create a durable station that can be wiped clean and reused all year.
