Welcome to our Preschool Sports Camp, a playful theme preschool adventure where little athletes can jump, run, and balance their way to fun! Whether at home, in a preschool classroom, daycare, or under the caring eyes of a child minder, this preschool sports theme activity is a fantastic way to integrate sports into early learning, with a blend of pretend play and physical activity.
This sports theme activity comes with a full pack of printables to bring this sports role play activity to life.
It’s a great way to fire up kids imaginations with pretend play and dramatic play with the sports camp scenario, while actually getting their little bodies moving by doing the activities – so this idea is kind of a cross between pretend play, and actual sports, but from both angles it’s a whole lot of fun.
With the Olympics coming this year, for Paris 2024, it’s a great time to get the kids excited about sports and tie this theme in with world events. You can even split them into country groups to do the sports theme, if you want to theme it on the olympics even more.
But if you don’t have a big group you can still do this activity with even just one child – like a one to one training session.
How to Use This Preschool Sports Activity
Our free printable sport worksheets turn your space into a mini sports camp, perfect for preschoolers.
To get started, simply download the activity sheets at the end of this blog post and guide your children through a series of sports activities designed to boost their gross motor skills.
You can ask the kids to take turns picking out an activity card, and check them off on the training camp list until they’re ready to be awarded their certificate.
As they hop into a game of hula hoop or practice their balance with a football, they’re not just playing—they’re developing coordination, strength, and healthy habits.
Plus, these sports-themed activities are a surefire way to inject some energetic fun into your lesson plans!
