Early Movement Skills

Designed to help anyone caring for very young children - whether in the home, nursery, school or clinic - to use movement to enhance cognitive, emotional and physical development. These easy-to-follow activities, games, musical and rhythmical tasks are designed to:


Enhance children's self-awareness and self-esteem;

Increase knowledge of their bodies, shape, size and space;

Help acquire social skills, relationships and turn-taking;

Foster creativity and self-expression;

Promote literacy, listening, speech and numeracy.

The activities are graded from very simple movements initiated by the carer for children in very early stages of development to more demanding activities as children develop autonomy, confidence and skills, relationships and turn-taking.
