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

Spring into movement with your class! This Spring Movement Book (and Cards!) — "Moving Through Spring" — gets students flapping, flying, and swaying like the season around them, 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!
