What to have Hula hoops (or other similar ringed objects)
What to do Give children the freedom to move about in their own spaces. It helps them develop an understanding of other people’s personal space and their movement in relation to others’ movements. Use a hula hoop on the floor to help children get a visual idea of the amount of personal space they have that no one else can impose on. To demonstrate when sharing is not appropriate, children can practice having toys or their personal materials in their own circle that are off-limits to other children. This kind of visual reminder helps children gain a sense of boundaries and respect for personal space. It also builds trust that children won’t come and swipe a toy before a child is finished with it.
Why To promote flexible thinking, observing, and perceptual-motor skills
