Make Physical Fitness Fun {Alphabet Exercises}

It is important for all kids to move in order to stay healthy and fit. I am also trying to make things fun for Rory, and of course incorporate learning in them. 

We have an ABC puzzle on our floor that we used for this activity, but you can use anything. You could just write the ABC’s on paper and put them all over the floor.

For this activity, we put the ABC’s all over our floor. We mixed them up, so that Rory would have to walk more from A to B. We started with A, and then continued with the letters until we got to Z. Each letter has a movement that we would act out when we got to that letter.

You can do any movement you would like, but here is a list of our actions.

Alphabet Exercises

A  – Act like a cat

B  – Bend at the knees

C  – Chair pose

D  – Dance

E  – Elephant steps

F – Fly like a bird

G  – Gallop

H – Hugs

I  – Itsy bitsy steps

J – Jump

K – Kick

L – Leg lifts

M – March

N – Noisy steps

O – Open and shut arms

P – Pop up

Q -Quiet hops

R – Runs

S -Side steps

T – Turns

U – Under mommy’s legs

V – Vacuum

W – Wiggles

X – X  jumping jacks

Y – Yoga (downward dog)

Z – Zig zag steps

We just went from letter to letter and had fun with it!
