Catch The Scarves

Catch the scarves

You can use scarves, large pieces of tissue paper or cut up foil blankets.  Go outside and give each child a scarf and invite them to hold it in the air to see which way the wind is blowing!  On the count of 3, everyone released their scarf and watches it fly around, then chase it and catch it…repeat.

Adapt for younger children:

Start indoors by throwing the fabric in the air and inviting them to catch it. Outside use larger equipment and scaffold the children with this activity.

Extension:

After letting go, invite children to catch their partners fabric. Stand on a hill or a slight incline to challenge the movement.
