Theme Area: Playing Soccer

Related Episode: Sky Soccer

Subjects/Skills: Movement; Following Directions

Materials Needed:
A sponge ball or a pair of socks rolled up in a ball

Directions:
Invite your child to play a game of Sky Soccer with you. Let her know that she can use any body part to touch the ball, except her hands.

Together, practice kicking the ball and bouncing it off other body parts. Remind your child of the Dragon Tales friends' advice to Ord if she struggles and gets discouraged. Let her know that it's important to keep trying, even if you don't succeed.

Invite your child to think of some other ways that she can move the ball. Invite her to test them out. For example, can she move the ball by blowing on it? Can she move it with her elbows?
