Description
A book of practical physical movements to aid learning. The proposition is that physical movement can offer reprieve, it can link to learning, it can improve motor control and it can be fun and memorable in itself. There is an increasing body of knowledge that links physical movement and learning. What the best teachers and the wisest parents have believed for years is affirmed in this book of physical activities. The book contains over 100 activities, all fully illustrated with clear instructions on how to develop them. Children and older learners alike will benefit from practising them!
