Incorporate concepts of spatial and time awareness into other domains as the opportunity arises.
Example: daily schedule is a time-related routine, so is the 5-minute warning for putting away materials. Spatial concepts and vocabulary can be built into most activities, i.e., enough room to, behind, above, beside, over, under, etc.
Use directional language such as "left" and "right" with supporting nonverbal demonstration during daily activity. Example: Put your right arm in the coat first, then the left, while assisting as needed.
Use accurate names for all body parts. This may come up with simple songs and finger plays, with comments about children's drawings.
Keep backgrounds uncluttered for younger children. Provide lots of white space around print, a few objects on the shelves, etc.
Plan activities to help children practice both dynamic and static balance. Start simply and increase challenge gradually. Example: "Freeze" in a dynamic position during a dance or movement activity.
