Primary Schoolers Sports And Games
- Physical play and games help children improve their coordination and balance.
- Children develop healthy habits by being physically active everyday. This also helps their future health.
- Young children gain confidence through sport and physical activity.
- Physical games are different to organised sport. Organised sport usually requires training and practice. There are rules, teamwork, commitment, competition, winning and losing.
- Some children don't like
organised sport but there are other things they can enjoy such as:
- bike riding
- playing in the waves at the beach
- bush and nature walks
- hopscotch
- bouncing on a trampoline
- swinging
- climbing trees
- digging in the garden
- made up games with friends
- picnic cricket, rounders.
- Play should be fun.
- Appreciate all children's efforts when trying something new.
- Be honest with yourself about the child's level of skill, maturity and ability.
- Never compare your child with a friend or sibling.
