Basketball Flashcard for Preschoolers
A bouncing orange ball and a hoop up high — basketball is throw, bounce and catch, the three things small hands practise all day anyway.
Say it together
“Basketball is bouncing the ball with your hands and tossing it into the hoop. Bounce, bounce, throw — swish!”
Say it naturally, then wait. Whatever comes back — the word, the sound, a point, a giggle — is the right answer.
Try this
A laundry basket on the floor is today’s hoop. Bounce the ball five times, then drop-toss it in. Move the basket further away each round. Every catch you take is hand-eye coordination doing push-ups.
Quick parent note
The bounce is the real teacher here: a ball that comes back up asks to be hit again, and hitting a moving ball on purpose is one of the big fundamental movement skills.
