Activity: Bean bag toss
Aims of the activity:
The aim of this activity is to promote physical development and this activity supports children’s
fine motor skills and gross motor skills. The aim of this activity is to also encourage the children
to grip the bean bag and throw it into the hula hoops.
What are the desired learning outcomes for this activity? (Link to EYFS)
Age: 30-50 months – expected stages of physical development:
“Runs skillfully and negotiates space successfully, adjusting speed or direction to avoid
obstacles.” (Early education, 2012, p.24)
“Can catch a large ball.” (Early education, 2012, p.24)
“Can stand momentarily on one foot when shown.” (Early education, 2012, p.24)
“Mounts stairs, steps or climbing equipment using alternate feet.” (Early education, 2012,
p.24)
What skills will the children develop when undertaking the activity?
The children will develop their throwing skills during this activity. Catching and throwing a bean
bag helps children develop the skill of grasp and release. Furthermore, a bean bag will help
children develop the hand strength required for handling a ball. The children’s fine motor and
gross motor skills will also develop. Their ability to follow verbal directions and their listening
skills may also develop.
What new vocabulary will the children learn while undertaking the activity?
The children may learn some words and phrases that they haven’t used before. Some children
will not know what beanbags or hula-hoops are so it will be new to them.
Less confident/able children:
I will encourage them to throw a beanbag in a hula-hoop and if they do not feel comfortable to
do it on their own, I will help them. By helping them do it, they may feel more confident and
this may boost their self-esteem.
More confident/able children:
I will ask them to throw a beanbag in a specific hula-hoop and ask them to tell me what shape
and color it is. I will also ask them to throw a beanbag in the furthest hula-hoop and see if they
can do it.
I think that this activity is suitable for 3-4 year olds because it is a great opportunity for them to
focus and develop on their fine and gross motor skills, which is important for their physical
development. Furthermore, this activity gives a chance for the children to interact with each
other and build friendships, which is also important for this age group.
