Pretend Play Fishing Games for Kids
Do you find that your children love pretend play? Here at our house, it is the NUMBER ONE activity for the younger children and always has been. Whether it be playing house, school or doctor the children become lost in the art of play.
There does not need to be extensive preparation for pretend play fishing. If home or at school you can use the following:
- BOAT – use a couch or two classroom chairs
- FISHING ROD – wooden dowel, string, and magnet
- FISH – cut out colored paper in the shape of fish and put paper clips on each fish
All set and ready to play. The kids can hop on their boat and set sail fishing as they went.
If you need to add in more physical activity, children can hide the fish in different areas and the other child has to “swim” off of the boat to go and find all of them.
Try writing different exercises on the fish. When they catch a fish, they have to complete the exercise.
Need to make it more academic? This educational fishing game for kids is ready to go by simply adding letters, sight words, math problems, vocabulary words, etc on the fish. Catch a fish and read it to reinforce learning!
Relax with Fish Breath
When your students are all done with the fishing games for kids, practice deep breathing to get their bodies ready to work again.
Fish Breath
Fish breath breathing exercise is a fun technique that is sure to make kids laugh and not take things too seriously. Because it requires make a silly blooping sound on the exhale, like a fish, it disperses tension, releases frustration, and busts the stress of over-efforting. Humor and playfulness are keys to accessing executive function and creative thinking. Physiologically, when you inhale deeply, you pull in lots of oxygen needed by our brain and body to stay relaxed and alert. When you exhale completely, you make room for more which helps us release toxins and recharge.
Directions:
Take a deep breath through your nose,
Fill up your cheeks with that breath and …
Push it all out through your mouth while saying…
Bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, blooooooop.
And again, deep breath in your nose…
Fill up your cheeks with it and …
Exhale it out your mouth …
Bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, blooooooop.
After fish breathing, your students will be ready to return to their school work!
