Sports & Movement flashcards.

Forty cards that turn the whole wide world of sport into active play a four-year-old can start today: the ball games every playground knows, the run-jump-throw heart of athletics, the water sports, the wheels and boards and ice, climbing and riding, the aim-and-precision games, the martial arts and one mighty lift. Every card is a gross motor skill with a name — and every name is a game the body already wants to play.

These cards belong to Class 37 · Sports, Movement & Play on the Kiddo School learning path.

HOW TO USE THESE CARDS

Four ways that work.

You do not need a plan or a printer schedule. Pick one idea, try it for two minutes and see what happens.

  1. 01

    Sort the cards by how the body moves

    Ball games in one pile, water sports in another, wheels and boards and ice in a third. Sorting by movement IS fundamental movement skills practice — and every child sorts them a slightly different way, all of them right.

  2. 02

    Do the word, then name the word

    Pull a card, do the sport’s Big Move in the living room — a soccer kick, a gymnastics balance, a swimming reach — then say the name together. Gross motor first, vocabulary second: that is the order four-year-olds learn best.

  3. 03

    Pick a mini tournament

    Lay out six cards and let your child run a tiny sports day: one move from each card, a big cheer after every attempt and a drawn medal at the end. Physical literacy grows on reps, and reps grow on fun.

  4. 04

    Find the sport on screen or street

    Watch sixty seconds of any card’s sport or spot it on a walk — a bike, a net, a bat and ball in the park. Real-world matching turns forty cards into forty treasure hunts.
