Parent Tot Motorboat Activity with Kickboard

Parent Tot Activity

“Child in the water on top of a kickboard. Parent in the water holding child’s arms on top of kickboard. Parent’s chest should be facing same direction as child’s face. Parent’s right arm should be over the child’s body and holding child’s right arm on the kickboard. Child’s feet will be behind the parent.

Sing: “”Motorboat, Motorboat go so slow, /           Motorboat, Motorboat, go so fast, /           Motorboat, Motorboat, STEP ON THE GAS!””

Move the child slowly during the “”go so slow”” Increase speed when you get to “”go so FAST.”” Move as fast as comfortable, or possible when you say, “”step on the gas!””

This is part of a larger system
