Rainbow Zip Games

 

Zip Games

 

 

Zip game is a great activity to practice many learning opportunities such as:

· fine motor development

· hand and eye coordination

· concentration and problem solving

 

Materials I need are zippers in different colours sewn in fabric, and colourful zippers can help children get to know colours.

 

For children, learning how to use zippers can be difficult, but that is where learning through play can help them. This fun activity is a great way to encourage the skills needed for using zippers. To make this activity more interactive, we can ask questions like: Do you have clothes with zippers? Where have you seen zippers before?

 

The area I am developing through this activity is to show them how to handle and use zippers themselves. This game will teach them responsibility and to support their self-dressing skills.
