Minute to Win It

I saw this idea on Your Therapy Source, taking Minute to Win It ideas to help improve fine motor skills, help with sensory integration, etc.... therapy disguised as fun? Genius!



Here are the ideas they shared:

1. Fine Motor Challenges

How high can you build a tower of marshmallows and toothpicks in one one minute?
How many paper clips can you chain together in one minute?
How many coins can you flip over from heads to tails in one minute?
How many stacks of 10 pennies can you build in one minute?

2. Sensory Challenges

From the show - unroll two rolls of toilet paper and wrap it around yourself in under one minute
How many times can you push a therapy ball through a tunnel in one minute?

3. Activities of Daily Living Challenges

How many times can you tie and untie your shoe in one minute?
How many times can you put on and take off your coat completely in one minute?

You get the idea. Vary the challenges as necessary based on your child's motor skills. Or just check out all the ideas on the Minute to Win It site for something the whole family can to do together!
