Beach Towel Boogie

Have each child bring a beach towel and this is their spot for doing different activities,
 some were coloring, some were lacing fish, etc. Tell the  children to listen because
 when the music starts they get up and dance. When  it stops they go back to doing
 their activity. Put some Beach Boy (or other surfing type music on) and have fun!

Beach Ball Fun

Place two beach balls of different sizes on a small blanket while several
 children hold the sides of the blanket and make the beach balls move up and
  down like popcorn popping or roll them from side to side by moving their arms.

Beach Ball Parachute Fun

For beach we blew up 2 beach balls and used them on our parachute.
  We would try to bounce them off.  The children love this activity
 and want to do it over and over.  It is so simple, but a sure winner. Let the
 children roll the beach ball back and forth and all around the parachute.

Having Fun With Beach Ball

Give your children a beach ball to play with! Play catch!

Baby Gate Beach Ball

If you have a baby gate...use it as a volleyball net and play
 beach ball in sandbox.  That is, if your sandbox is large enough!

Beach Ball Bowling

Gather ten empty plastic two liter bottles to be used as bowling pins.
  Assemble the bottles in a triangle, as you would the pins for a traditional
 bowling game.  Have each child take a turn rolling a beach ball from a
 designated line in an attempt to knock down the pins. Give each child
 two turns, if needed, and have him/her count how many pins he/she knocked down. 

Roll The Beach Ball

Sit with the children and slowly roll a beach ball back and forth. For older
 children, try rolling two or three beach balls at a time in a circle of children.

Beautiful Day At the Beach

Have each child bring in a favorite beach towel to make this movement
 activity seem more like a real day at the beach! Ask everyone to spread
 their towels in a large open area.  Then say, "It's a beautiful day at the
 beach. Let's go swimming!"  Have children pantomime running into the waves
 and swimming through the water.  Then invite them to head back to their towels
 to take a rest.  Next say, "It's a beautiful day at the beach. Let's go fishing!"
  Have the children stand up, bait their hooks, and cast their imaginary fishing
 lines out into the water.  Of course, everyone will catch a giant fish and
 struggle to reel it in.  After they take another rest on their beach towels, make
 more suggestions for beach activities, such as jogging, surfing, or playing ball.
