Clean Your Room Game

In the Clean Your Room game, children move around an agreed area using the slipperiness of the team vest. 1–2 year olds practice gross motor skills, especially pushing and pulling, which strengthen muscle strength and body control. As these skills develop, other gross motor skills for handling equipment also develop.

Instructions

Move in a bear walk or crawling position with the team vest under the palms.
Move in different directions: forward, backward and to the sides.
Add background music to the cleaning to make cleaning even more fun.

Motor Skills from an Early Age

In the Clean Your Room game, children practice movement skills as well as pushing and pulling, which are part of the gross motor foundational skills that develop early. These form a basis for many other skills needed in daily life and physical activity. The game is ideal for very young children, as it does not require, for example, walking or running skills, and the rules are simple and can be learned by following an adult’s example.
