Little Movers Trike

Trike features safe, spoke-free wheels fitted with industrial ball bearings for a smooth ride. Tires also never need to be inflated, ensuring the trike is always ready go when students are.

Light-blue frame with black pedals, handle grips, and seat is eye-catching as students ride around the playground. Plastic seat and pedals are weather resistant, while TPR on the handles adds grip as riders hold on and steer.

Powder-coated steel frame is durable and designed to withstand outdoor elements. Assembly required. Large trike supports up to 160 lb and is great for ages 4-8. Seat is 16"H. 36"L x 22-1/2"W x 27-1/2"H; 24 lb. Developed and made by Winther.

Engaging Activities for Developing Fundamental Movement Skills with the Little Movers Trike

The Little Movers Trike is a beginner-friendly, foot-powered tricycle that helps young learners develop essential locomotor and body control skills. With a low-to-the-ground design, a wide rear axle, and easy-grip handles, it's built for safety, balance, and stability, making it ideal for pre-K and early elementary students. These activities are designed to build core strength, coordination, dynamic balance, and agility through creative and playful trike-based challenges. Whether in a large gym or a small outdoor space, these 15 imaginative activity ideas will transform physical education class into an exciting adventure on wheels.

1. Trike Trek Trials: Set up an obstacle course using cones for students to ride around, under, and through. This teaches agility and dynamic balance as students navigate tight corners and weave through pathways on their trikes.

2. Pedal and Pull Parade: Pair students, where one rides the trike and the other gently pulls them using a strength or resistance band. This encourages teamwork, resistance-based locomotion, and upper-body strength.

3. Direction Detective Ride: Call out "left", "right", "back", or "forward" at random. Students must immediately adjust direction. Focuses on listening, motor planning, and directional response.

4. Trike Tag Tango: One or two trike riders are “taggers” and try to tag others who must stay inside a defined area. Once tagged, a student switches with the tagger. Focuses on dodging, stopping, and quick directional changes.

5. Highway to Hop-ville: Scatter beanbags on the ground. Students ride the trike to a spot, dismount, perform 5 hops in place, then remount and ride to the next spot. Builds hopping, transitioning, and balance skills.

6. Traffic Light Twists: One student controls “traffic lights”. Green means go, yellow = slow, red = stop and twist in place on the trike. Develops reaction time, control, and turning skills.

7. Color Route Cruisers: Assign trike paths using different colored cones. Students must follow a route based on a color card they draw. Encourages memory, direction following, and smooth locomotion.

8. Pedal Power Pick-Up: Place beanbags on cones. Students ride to a cone, lean to pick up the beanbag without stopping the trike, and return it to a base. Emphasizes coordination and core stability.

9. Spin and Sprint Circuit: Students ride the trike to a designated area, dismount, do 3 jumping jacks, spin around 3 times, and return. Works on transitions between body control and locomotor skills.

10. Fast Lane Freeze: When music stops, all riders must freeze and balance without using feet. Tests stillness, control, and static balance on a moving platform.

11. Backward Blazer Challenge: Students learn to push the trike backward using only feet. Builds coordination, proprioception, and reverse balance control.

12. Pedal & Pass Play: While riding, students pass a ball to each other without stopping. Combines manipulative passing skills with locomotion and balance.

13. Muscle Movers Mission: Ride to different stations where students do strength exercises (e.g., push-ups, planks) after dismounting. Focus on whole-body conditioning, especially core stability and muscular endurance.

14. Spin Cycle Scramble: Scatter number cards. Students are given number sequences to find and ride to in order. Builds memory, sequencing, and smooth direction changes.

15. Push-Off Partner Races: In pairs, students line up side-by-side, push off simultaneously, and race to a finish line. Encourages friendly competition, timing, and explosive push strength.
