The development of gross motor skills to a large extent depends on muscle training. Children gain strength and resilience through practice and repetitive activities which are similar to gymnastics. Some games are listed below. 

• Marching in a straight line (3–6 years).
• Skipping, jumping over ropes which are put on the ground (4–6 years).
• Playing with a ball (3–6 years).
• Shooting games – when the child has a particular target (they improve the ability to estimate distance and physical strength when throwing an object (4–6 years).
• Stepping in and out of a hoop (4–6 years).
• Games with cones – the child can walk, run or ride a bicycle around the cones (5–6 years).
• Swimming (4–6 years).
• A “shadowing” (imitation) game – the child makes the same movements and actions that others show them (3–6 years).
• Imitation of animals – slither like a snake, walk like a duck, hop like a rabbit, gallop like a horse (3–5 years).
• Walking on a beam or a thin line (5–6 years).
