Include in the handout:
Directions facilitating the activities
Learning objectives or outcomes for the activities
The fine and gross motor skills that each activity targets
The value of movement and play that each activity has on the development of young children
How each activity will be differentiated for children with special needs, physical limitations, or developmental delays
