Infant Gross Motor Skills Lesson Plans

The lesson plan focuses on enhancing gross motor skills in infants aged 6 to 18 months through a series of engaging activities. The session begins with a warm-up that involves gentle stretching accompanied by music, introducing infants to movement. Key activities include a crawling relay, rolling lightweight balls, navigating a soft obstacle course, and chasing bubbles, all designed to promote coordination, balance, and strength. To wind down, caregivers and infants participate in a musical movement exercise where they dance and play instruments. The plan encourages caregiver involvement and concludes with a reflection session, fostering communication about each infant’s progress. Safety considerations ensure that all materials are appropriate for the age group, enabling a secure and playful learning environment.
