This new book offers an accessible guide to movement games with children ages
three upwards. These games are all tried and tested with children and are the
basis for the author's extensive teacher training work.
The book also explores children's personal development
and how this is expressed in movement, play, and games.
Each game contains a description of why this
game is helpful and needed at a particular age. In this
way it offers a fascinating insight into the threshold
experiences of childhood.
Each game is clearly and simply described, with diagrams
or drawings. There are separate chapters with games for
different age groups that deal with child development
questions. There are games for mixed ages, playground
games, and water games to help with swimming.
This book will be a must for every teacher, both as a
standby and as an essential classroom resource.
It also offers an enjoyable way to enhance teamwork,
coordination, spatial awareness, and insight into
child development, and games that are both
fun and therapeutic.
