Fundamental Fun

Are you clamouring for additional ideas to support your teaching of fundamental movement skills?  Do you find it difficult to locate primary physical education activities that focus on specific skills?  You’re not alone.

In Fundamental Fun you will find 132 activities designed to help students develop fundamental movement skills.  The link between all activities in this book is the explicit promotion of one skill; while not excluding the development of other fundamental movement skills.  As a teacher of primary physical education this allows you to hone one skill at a time.

The purpose of this book is to provide educative, developmentally appropriate, fun activities for children aged 4—8 in the primary physical education context.  Six different activity ideas for teaching the twenty two fundamental movement skills are presented.  Each activity description also includes the number of players and a list of resources for the main activity and its variations.  Furthermore there is a ‘catering for individual differences’ section in which five aspects of the activity are explored by focusing on and changing task demands, rules, teaching cues, players and equipment.

Fundamental Fun will be a useful guide to the teaching of specific fundamental movement skills through generic primary physical education activities that include elements of dance, gymnastics, athletics, games, outdoor and adventurous activities.
