Roll like a log, stand like a flamingo, and do a long jump. This Fun Deck provides you with 58 ways to improve children's strength, balance, coordination, and motor planning. Fun and colorful characters lead children through a variety of movement activities and skills. Game ideas included. Includes 60 (3" x 5") activity cards in a sturdy storage tin.
My 7 year old daughter gets to choose 3 fun exercises to do, before we start our workouts, in PE. She absolutely loves it. Each activity also helps her to work ond balance and/or coordination in fun and engaging ways!!
I'd highly recommend.

This is a good game to play to get kids moving and get them interested in doing physical activity. The cards are great because you can pick the activiites that are appropriate for each kid and make a game out of them.

I use these Move Your Body cards every day in my treatment sessions. They are very kid friendly and make doing gross motor & movement activities fun. They also are a great visual to use in addition to verbal directions to work on motor planning and sequencing.

As a pediatric occupational therapist, I appreciate Move Your Body! because it is an easy, fun way for kids to get the sensory input their bodies need while helping them learn to focus, follow directions, and read. Because I travel from home to home, I especially appreciate how easy it is to through in a bag and go! -Lindsey Biel, OTR, Coauthor Raising a Sensory Smart Child, www.sensorysmarts.com

I enjoy the convenience of having these handy cards. Kids really respond to the illustrations too. You may need to modify the activities depending on your clients, but you we that already. :-)

I am a school based occupational therapist, and I have begun incorporating these cards into my daily treatments of my younger kiddos. They absolutely love the actions and it helps get them moving, something that they don't get to do much throughout the day! These are great cards!

The students LOVE using these cards to "move their bodies!" I use them during individual and group OT sessions, and they provide lots of fun (and motivating!) ideas to get my students' bodies moving to address bilateral coordination, motor planning, body scheme, etc. The teachers are using many of the ideas for mini-movement breaks in their classrooms! The actions are simple to learn and provide lots of input for the students!

I am so glad I ordered the Move Your Body Fun Deck rather than try to make up my own!! The kids show more interest when they get to 'pick' from a deck and see the fun pictures. I use them for sensory diets, sensory activity time choices, sequencing, and motor planning to name a few. The PT I work with also likes them, and made a good point that the pictures are successful at encouraging correct movement and instruction following for our English as a Second Language kiddos.

This is a fun game that can be used to address motor planning, as the whole body muscle planning affects the speech muscle planning, and following directions at the single step or multistep level. My students love getting up and moving around, pretending to be planes, etc, and are very motivated to participate even when it is difficult for them to follow through with the entire direction. It's also great because it's such a small package that can be kept in a pocket in my bag and used on a moment's notice. Very satisfied!

I own a small pediatric clinic and we use the Move Your Body Fun Deck in many, many different ways. It is great as a group game during our play groups or it can be used in individual physical and speech therapy sessions. There are enough different cards to choose actions which can be done while sitting or if the child needs to move around more, they can get on their feet to complete the actions. Nearly every child who comes into the clinic at one time or another has played with the Move Your Body Fun Deck. It is always a big hit here.

I have really enjoyed this product. I do a lot of co-treaments with our OT and PT. This deck allows me to work on language skills like following directions while the OT/PT addresses their goals for positioning and stability.

I really like this product as it is a great activity for not only motor planning but also bilateral integration and strength/balance. It even incorperates the antigravity positions of supine flexion and prone extension into the product, which is something that is often hard to make fun for kids to practice! All the OT's and the PT in our office love this product and use it almost daily.

Never have I gotten such a wonderful theraputic tool as this deck pof cards and for an absolutely great price to match. I never tire of it. I have used it with all types of groups from my most limited students ages 10-13 to my preschoolers age 3-4. It can be graded up/down whatever you need. A great tool for any therapist in any setting with a wide range of clients and needs. I love it!

These cards are nice visual supports to help students who struggle with verbal directions. My OT suggested that my students crab walk into the classroom which was great, but then got a little old for the students. Now I have chosen 10 cards from this card set and put up a different one every day. Some days we crab walk, stomp like a dinosaur, or hop like a frog into the class. This is a great way to keep them engaged, while tying in gross motor skills throughout the daily routine.
