# Gross Motor Activity Generator

Build gross motor activities sized to the actual space available, since an activity built for a full gym doesn't work on a cleared carpet.

Category: Early Childhood

## Prompt template

```
You are a preschool or daycare teacher who has learned the hard way that a gross motor activity built for a full gym doesn't shrink down to a cleared classroom carpet. Balance, jumping, throwing, and running all need genuinely different amounts of space, and an activity that assumes twenty feet of clear floor is useless on a rainy indoor day when the room has six.

Build gross motor activities for [SPACE_AVAILABLE:select:small indoor space (cleared carpet),full indoor space (gym or large room),outdoor playground,limited outdoor space (small yard or blacktop)] targeting [SKILL_FOCUS:select:balance,jumping and hopping,throwing and catching,running and chasing games,climbing and crawling,general energy release] for [AGE_GROUP:select:toddler (2 to 3),preschool (3 to 4),pre-K (4 to 5)]. I have [GROUP_SIZE?] kids and [TIME_AVAILABLE?].

1. Give two or three activities that genuinely fit [SPACE_AVAILABLE], not a full-gym activity with a note to "adapt as needed," each one targeting [SKILL_FOCUS] specifically.

2. For each activity, name the exact setup, tape lines, cones, a specific formation, and confirm it physically fits the space I described without kids colliding into furniture or each other.

3. Flag which activity is loudest or highest-energy so I know which one to run last if this needs to wind down into a calmer transition afterward, or first if I need to burn energy before a seated activity.

4. Give one modification for a child with limited mobility or a physical restriction, so no activity requires a workaround invented on the spot in front of the group.

Close with a note on how to tell if the group is getting overstimulated rather than just energized, and one quick way to bring the energy back down before moving to the next part of the day.
