Physical Education Activities

Focusing on the physical nature of young children and the importance of regular physical activity to their overall development, this book provides a wide range of ideas for structured activities that gain and maintain children's interest and ensure real learning opportunities. Particular emphasis is given to the issues of planning for differentiation and progression, observation and assessment, and safety. Chapters include: getting started, playing outside, moving into gymnastics, moving into games, moving into dance, moving into athletics, and fit for other activities (a cross-curricular perspective).
