Need:
Carpet squares or a towels on a clean (non- carpeted) floor.
Directions: Have the children put the carpet
on the floor with the carpet side down (slides better.) Have them sit on
the carpet piece with their feet extended out in front and their knees
bent. Explain how they can pull themselves forward with their feet. Have
them work their arms as if they are rowing a boat. Sing 'Row, row, row
your
boat.' Have the children kneel on the carpet and pull themselves forward
(scooter style), or have them put their hands on the carpet and run
pushing carpet on the floor.
