RC II-5 Gross motor (outdoor activity)

Intended Goals:
To help kids build Gross motor skills.

Materials:
4 objects for bases and a playground ball.

Processes: (Procedures)
Set up the bases similar to a baseball diamond. Divide kids into two teams. Do a coin toss to determine who
will be kicking first. Fielding team decides on a pitcher and the rest of the kids go to the field and get ready to
catch the ball and / or tag the runner.
The pitcher rolls the ball to the kicker. The kicker kicks the ball into the outfield and runs to first base - or
second, third and home if they can make it without being tagged out. Field players must tag the runners while
either carrying the ball and touching them, or throwing it at the runner. If the ball is caught the kicker is out.

For this activity, discuss why it is developmentally appropriate for this specific age group:
The resource collection (RC) is part of the CDA portfolio. For this class you will be completing RC II which includes nine
learning experiences (activities). These activities should be written in your own words. I have provided a format for you
to use. (See attached).Before completing this assignment you should read in the yellow or green text about the
Resource collection. If you are seeking a CDA for Preschool (green book) nine activities must be appropriate
for preschool children (ages: 3, 4 /or 5 year) Please note you must have all nine areas

If you are seeking a CDA for infant/toddler (yellow book) three of the activities must be appropriate for a young infant,
three activities must be appropriate for mobile infant and three activities must be appropriate for a toddler. A total of
nine activities. Please note you must have all nine areas
