Carrying apparatus

back

Age

3-6

Materials

  • A tray
  • Apparatus to be places on the tray, starting from something simple, not breakable like a book, a wooden block...etc to something breakable like a cup, a bottle...etc and then to more difficult items like a cup filled with water, ...etc.


Preparation

This can be a collective presentation.

Presentation

The Directress invites all the children to sit on a chair, listen and watch carefully.
The Directress shows how to carry a tray:
Put two hands at the side of a tray with the thumb firmly at the edge of a tray, and carry it. Now, walk from one end to the other, holding the tray steadily.

Control Of Error

Directress directed exercise or the materials on the tray, for e.g. A box of beads or a cup of water. If the tray is not balanced properly, it will topple and the beads will fall off. If the tray shakes, water from the cup will spill.

Points Of Interest


Purpose

Direct aims:

  • To teach children how to carry a tray and subsequently to carry a tray with things on it.


Indirect aims:

  • Teaches coordination of the eyes, hands and legs.
  • To develop hand movement, order, balance and concentration.


Variation

Try balancing other apparatus on the tray and asking the children to carry the apparatus on the tray, walking from one end to another.
