The Waldorf school curriculum was developed to nurture the healthy
development of the child, not only in mind but in body and spirit
as well. Physical education and movement form an integral part of
this holistic approach, encouraging children to be active not just
for the sake of activity, but in order to experience themselves
through meaningful movement and to form a stronger connection with
the world around them. This indispensable book for teachers -- the
most comprehensive of its kind available in English -- provides a
wealth of practical insights on teaching physical education and
movement in Waldorf Schools. It includes: -- Practical suggestions
for games and exercises to teach a range of activities such as
athletics, archery, climbing, gymnastics, dance, swimming and
sailing. -- Over thirty sample lessons providing inspiration and
quick, easy reference for activities for Classes 1-12. -- Exercises
designed to suit different developmental stages: from simple,
storytelling games for young children to more complex, demanding
exercises for older pupils. -- Essays from teachers with decades of
experience, exploring the value of physical education in Waldorf
schools and how its emphasis on individual progress and
co-operation over competition helps build pupils' confidence and
self-belief. -- Suggestions of which Bothmer Movement exercises are
best suited for different classes, based on an awareness of the
laws of movement that underpin each age group. -- Practical advice
on how teachers can adapt content covered in other subjects to
create a more unified learning experience for pupils -- for
example, organising their own Olympic Games to complement teaching
about ancient Greece in history lessons. -- 250 inspiring colour
photographs illustrating a variety of activities. This is an
invaluable resource that provides both a wealth of practical ideas
and a thoughtful consideration of physical education and movement
that will give Steiner-Waldorf teachers confidence in preparing and
delivering lessons.
