Physical Literacy
Physical literacy is the key to being
ACTIVE FOR LIFE What is Physical Literacy?
Physical Literacy is the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life. (The International Physical Literacy Association, May 2014) Physical activity is a lot more fun when we’re physically literate. If we want children to be active for life, they need to develop physical literacy at a young age. Physicalliteracy.ca offers coaches, recreation professionals and health practitioners access to a wide range of resources that can help people become physically literate.
What are Fundamental Movement Skills?
Fundamental movement skills are the foundation for an active life. This list contains 25 fundamental movement skills which children can learn: 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99
