Teaching Physical Education in Kindergartens and Primary Schools

Targeted to Intermediate English (B1+) speakers.Read more

This is the standard requirement for most courses. Participants at this level can participate actively in discussions and manage everyday and professional situations. If they are unsure about their English level, they can test it here or explore our courses facilitated in Basic English.

The listed audiences are those for whom the course is especially recommended, but courses are not exclusive to them and are open to everyone. In fact, most of our workshops are built around the collective sharing of participants’ experiences and having a variety of profiles enriches the learning process and is highly encouraged!

Description

Children’s minds and bodies require movement to function properly. They enjoy it for the happiness it brings!

This course is designed for teachers in kindergartens and primary/elementary schools who want to learn new exercises and games for their classrooms, while also discovering the neuroscientific evidence that supports the effectiveness of movement for learning.

During the course, participants will discuss and practice various examples of indoor and outdoor activities, as well as active breaks for teaching physical education. They will also explore how to use physical education as a practical tool for learning and revising lessons.

Through teamwork and active participation, course participants will gain an innovative approach to physical education activities.

They will learn how to integrate physical education activities with curricular subjects such as arts, actively discuss the presented activities, and generate new ideas.

By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with practical tools for creating a more engaging and effective learning environment through physical education activities.
