This is a One Minute video on Playground Tips on Body &
Space Concepts.
Schools should capitalize on learning opportunities and the playground
is an opportunity to reinforce concepts learned in the classroom.
It is important to note that children first learn academic concepts like body in space before they can apply these concepts to paper or a
book.
For example children need to know where the top and bottom
of their body is before they can apply that concept to paper.
Most concepts like in, out, on, above, below etc. are best
learned first in relation to your body. For example this student is jumping the
letters in the alphabet in order and reinforces learning the alphabet in the
classroom.
Another preposition is to jump “across” the target. This
applies in the classroom to drawing a line across the page connecting to the
correct answers on paper.
So in review, body and space concepts are learned best
outside when moving the body and later these concepts can be applied inside to
a piece of paper or a book.
Thank you for attending this One-Minute Playground Tip
session on Body and Space inside and outside.
