Clover Kid Corner Through Clover Kids clubs, children learn how to get along, share, and work in groups, explore their interests, and build self-confidence. Each Clover Kids Corner provides an activity, information or other materials that Clover Kids leaders can use in planning and implementing experiences that introduce five to seven-year olds to the 4-H experience. The ABCs of Exercise Clover Kids can create every letter in the alphabet using their bodies. While participants wiggle, squirm and problem solve they are also getting good exercise, enhancing flexibility, agility, strength and awareness of their bodies. Stir the Soup Each participant finds a partner to do this stretching activity. Both partners sit on the floor, face to face, with their feet touching in a wide straddle. They reach out and grab each other's wrists and move side to side and forward and back. Remind youth to keep their knees straight! Partners can make circles - small ones and then larger ones as muscles loosen. Balloon Soccer Material needed is a 10-inch round balloon. This activity can be played outdoors or indoors in a wide, open room. Youth stand in a circle, shoulder to shoulder, holding hands. Youth kick the balloon around the circle passing to each player. After the balloon has been kicked around the circle, ask participants to take a giant step back and kick the balloon around again (hands may need to be dropped). Keep playing until there is no more space! Encourage youth to try kicking with the other leg in the opposite direction or pass the balloon by bouncing it off their heads.
