Here is a great springtime (or any time!) in-person or distance-learning activity for home-bound kiddos that you can guide via a live meeting or uploaded video. Eggs-R-Cise can help kiddos work on counting and channeling some of that boundless energy at the same time through exercise (you’re welcome, Mom and Dad!)

This is a great activity for your own child, teen, or a teacher’s helper to demonstrate as well.

You will need:

• Up to 30 plastic eggs that open
• Eggs-R-Cise activity sheet (below, download and print or hand write if you do not have access to a printer)

Download and print out the activities sheet (below) and cut out the directives so each one is on its own slip of paper. There are 2 of each of 15 unique tasks. Place one slip of paper in each of however many plastic eggs you plan to use.

Draw an egg or have a helper do it, open it, read out loud and perform the activity listed. There are between 3-17 repetitions of each activity. Make sure you are counting out loud as you do them to help reinforce counting with your kiddos. You may even want to write the number on a white board or piece of paper to match the numeral to quantity.

It’s that easy! Let us know if your kiddos enjoy it and stay healthy everyone!
