GET THE OCEAN THEMED VISUAL DISCRIMINATION MIDLINE CROSSING GAMEĪnother great option is the beach themed digital game available in the freebie library! Roll, Riddle, and Write! This fun game is perfect for working on writing/fine motor skills keeping with the ocean theme! GET THE RIDDLE, ROLL, WRITE OCEAN THEMED GAME This can be played digitally or you can print it and use it that way too! How about a mermaid theme to go with your ocean unit? Meet the mermaids, get to know their names, and move like them. These can be played on a computer, tablet or interactive whiteboard. This can be done in the seated position or prone over the ball. I have several like this (affiliate link). The seashell or ocean animal scoop is another great way to work over the peanut ball. Next, try it in sitting on the scooter board! Have students scoot around picking up the fish. Fish can be plastic fish (this is what I use), fish on paper, paper cut fish etc. Ocean Scooter Boards – Have the kids laying on their stomachs and place fish on the floor.

You can also work in quadruped reaching for the different color beach balls! Now work on balance with knee taps or toe taps. Place the different color beach balls on the wall. Lifeguard/Beach Ball Stations – These stations are part of the community helpers movement pack to represent the lifeguard. Love simple moves? Then you’ll love these Ocean Themed Movement Cards! Move forward or backward when trying out this activity! Island hopping is a great activity to add to the ocean theme.

Speaking of fishing, Pink Oatmeal has fishing themed movement cards that are fast, fun, and efficient! Yes, those are candy canes, but using pipe cleaners would probably work well too if you don’t have candy canes on hand. How about some fishing this week? Check out this fun idea for fishing.
