From the Cellar to the Loft (Paperback)

Let's Move--the key feature of these books is how easily they can be put into practice. Each booklet provides exercise leaders and teachers with a comprehensive range of information, which will help them with individual lessons e.g. with carefully chosen stimulating ideas on movement, plans for setting up apparatus etc. There are also patterns you can copy ideas for making things as well as children's songs set to music. Also the various pedagogic aspect of working with children are addressed, how children's gymnastic groups can be organized and new methods are looked at for encouraging children to move about. Let's Move--puts fun and the enjoyment of moving around first and foremost, starting with the child and its developing skills, and keeps on introducing more new and imaginative ideas. Let's Move--involves a series of games and activities that are based on gymnastics, movement and in some cases involves singing, in fact all the things that small children like to do. Fantasy and creativity are the key words for the special gymnastics lessons in this volume. We use all the old stuff and junk we can find between cellar and lott at home, and with that we build our own "Movement island" not only for children, but for the whole family. This is the therno with which we try to make the unpopular clean up of apparatus at the gym a bit funnier and at the same time highly imaginative.
