Classroom, Play Activity & Provocation Ideas
Classroom & Learning Area Ideas
Create a designated outdoor play area where children can freely use the La Cosa Ride-On, encouraging them to explore different terrains and surfaces. Incorporate a small obstacle course to enhance their coordination and balance skills.
Play-Based Activity Ideas
Organise a ‘ride and share’ session where children take turns using the La Cosa while discussing their experiences, promoting language development and social interaction. Set up a pretend play scenario where children can use the ride-on as part of a larger imaginative play theme, such as a delivery service or a race.
Provocation Ideas
Introduce a simple challenge where children must navigate the La Cosa through a series of cones or markers, encouraging problem-solving and critical thinking. Use the ride-on to facilitate discussions about movement and balance, prompting children to describe their experiences and feelings while riding.
