Using Stretchy Bodies (PDF)
Find out how to strengthen our bodies and keep our physical and emotional health in balance
It’s so important to support children’s movement and focus on strengthening every part of their bodies, from their heads to their toes, because we’re also strengthening their physical, emotional, visual and auditory memories at the same time. Whenever any one of these memories is out of balance, whether physically, emotionally or in other ways, it affects our whole bodies and minds and we, too, become off-balance.
Packed full of fun and expressive ways to move, this teaching pack helps you follow the children’s lead and offer every child (and grown-ups too!) the opportunity to become strong, resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.
