We like to move it move it! We have been talking about all sorts of movement this week at AoHC.
Movement and physical play helps their emotional, social, physical, language and cognitive development.
Children build confidence when they dance and move. They build endurance and they have the opportunity to learn new skills. Physical activities that involve playing in large groups teach children how to take turns, follow directions as well as how to support.
Both large gross motor and fine motor can improve when children play a variety of physical games. Our students can use prepositions and direction when participating in movement activities; in front of, up or down and so many more! Movement stimulates the brain and increases concentration, attention control and faster reaction times.
So get MOVING and PLAY!
