Fine Motor: Clip It Game

The purpose of this activity is to increase eye-hand coordination. Helping the eye muscles to become stronger will help your child with the necessary fine motor skills to write, cut, and learn.

Materials Needed: About 15-20 Clothes Pins/Clips

2 Paper Plates (The heavy ones work best!)

To Play:

The game is for one or two players.

Each player holds a plate.

The clips are placed into the middle of the playing area.

Each player uses just one hand to hook each clip onto the edge of the paper plate.

"Ready Set, Play"

Each player tries to put more clips on the plate than the other player.

Keep playing until all the clips are on the plates.

Count to see how many clips each player has.

Play again!

Challenge: Use 2 or 3 different colors of clips. As the clips are put onto the plate, make a pattern (AB, AABB, etc). Have FUN!
