At 3 years old, Merit Academy provides and introduces a series of exercises to develop the children's large motor skills. The children play games that encourage the usage of various muscles in their bodies. By mastering these individual skills, the children are introduced to a variety of sports and games. The children also play on the swings and see saws, and they ride tricycles and two-wheelers with training wheels. By doing somersaults, backward rolls, and cartwheels, the children learn how to move their bodies to perform gymnastics skills. Merit encourages children to use their imaginations while they play. By giving the children props and suggestions for imaginary role playing, the children launch into their own fantasy world. Using props, the children role-play and develop interpersonal and social skills. The children play Steal the Bacon, Red Light, Green Light, Hide 'n Seek, Simon Says, and Twister. This helps build their auditory processing skills and their ability to follow oral instructions.
