Come Play!: The Craft of Movement and Games for Primary School - Paperback

by Agnes de Souza (Author)

Movement grows the child, imagination enlivens the mind and games build character.

Woven together, they become a powerful educational tool. 'Come Play! The Craft of Movement and Games for Primary School' weaves together movement, games, imagination, joy and learning guided by Steiner / Waldorf educational philosophy. It covers the importance of movement and sensory integration and offers over 150 activities and age appropriate games for the primary school years and beyond.

The games are listed by age and year level, with a developmental picture of the child, a movement emphasis, and the teacher's sheath of authority for each year. Each game begins with a short story to engage the children's interest and imagination, followed by clear instructions on how to play. Many variations are offered, with illustrations to help visualise the games.

With the resources at your fingertips, it invites and inspires the parent, teacher, or educator to be the artist in their delivery of the games. Give your tired teacher brain a break. This book has got you covered.
