Farm Movement Book & Cards | Brain Breaks Gross Motor | SPED Autism OT PreK

Down on the farm, it's time to move! This Farm Movement Book (and Cards!) gets students galloping, flapping, and rolling like their favorite farm animals — building gross motor, motor planning, following directions, and imitation skills. Use it for movement breaks, brain breaks, circle time, or those wiggly in-between moments. The teacher reads and models while students imitate — or students pick a movement card and act it out!

📖 Excerpt from the Book

"I can gallop like a horse

on a warm and sunny day.

I can stand like a cow,

by a golden bale of hay.

I can roll like a pig.

I can roll across the ground.

I can flap like a chicken--

flap my wings and turn around..."
