Gross Motor Skill: Color Jump!

Gross Motor Skill: Color Jump!

This post is written in English and Bahasa Indonesia.

Waktunya melompat! Siapkan beberapa kertas origami dan tack it (atau pakai selotip), lalu tempelkan di lantai. Ajak anak melompat sambil menyebutkan warna kertas origaminya. Mau pakai Bahasa Indonesia boleh, mau pakai Bahasa Inggris juga boleh. 

Time to jump! Prepare some origami papers and tack it (or use double tape), put them on the floor. Ask the little ones to mention colors of origami papers while jumping from one tile to another. We can ask them to mention the colors in English or in Bahasa Indonesia.

Get ready to jump!

Kegiatan yang sangat sederhana tapi ternyata menyenangkan untuk anak. Color Jump! bermanfaat untuk melatih motorik kasar anak. Dengan melompat, anak belajar mengendalikan dan menyeimbangkan diri agar tidak jatuh saat mendarat atau menapak kembali di lantai. Selain itu, melompat ternyata bisa meningkatkan rasa percaya diri anak. Selain menggunakan kertas origami warna-warni, kita juga bisa menggunakan flashcard. Misalnya flashcard alfabet, angka, atau binatang.

A very simple yet fun activity for kids. Color Jump! is good to develop their gross motor skill. By jumping, children learn to control and balance themselves from falling when landing or retraching back on floor. Besides, jumping can boost their confidence. In addition to using origami papers, we can also use flashcards with various themes such as alphabets, numbers, animals, foods, etc.

It's blue!

Setelah capek lompat, Rayyaan punya ide lain nih. Ia mengambil mobil-mobilan aneka warna dan diletakkan di atas kertas origami yang warnanya sesuai. Tapi karena ia tidak punya mobil-mobilan warna hitam, jadi kertas origaminya saya balik menjadi warna putih (Rayyaan punya mobil-mobilan warna putih). Permainan yang melibatkan warna memang tidak ada matinya ya buat anak-anak.

Few days ago I did this activity with Rayyaan and I jumped with him, too! Tired jumping, Rayyaan had another idea. He took his toys cars and put them on origami papers acoording to the color. Because he had no black toy cars, so I turned black origami paper upside down, it 'became' white and Rayyaan put white toy cars on it.
