One of our favorite Valentines ideas last year was our free printable Heart Jump game. It was such a hit that we felt compelled to come up with a new gross motor game this Valentine’s Day!

When I saw a bunch of $3 yoga mats at the store, I knew that they would be perfect for creating a new activity for the kiddos I work with at school. Yoga mats are great for cutting into shapes that can be used on the floor as targets for jumping, hopping, throwing, etc. The resistive rubber keeps them from sliding underfoot!

I came up with this conversation heart jump gross motor game that will get kids moving while also using their cognitive skills for patterning, sequencing, and reading.
