'There's a growing awareness that for the good of their health,
children need to be out and about more, with their friends,
exploring the outdoor world in their own way.' - Nicola Butler,
Director of the Free Play Network
It is widely acknowledged that children today do not get
outdoors often enough and there are serious concerns about
children's activity levels and rising associated behavioural,
mental and health problems. With such structured and
technology-driven lives, it is easy for young children to stay
indoors, play on computers and not socialise with other children in
a healthy and active way.
This book not only supports 'playing out' as an integral part of
children's natural growth and development, but also provides early
years workers with a full programme of outdoor physical activities
to promote physical, social and behavioural skills.
This book is a guidebook to setting up an outdoor physical
activity programme in any early years setting. The book focuses on
how getting outdoors and taking part in physical activities will
provide children with positive fun experiences to enhance their
general learning and development. The programme can be adapted to
suit any timescale - from a whole term to one or two days.
Key features include showing practitioners:
- how to make the most of their outdoor area for all
children
- step by step explanations to the outdoor activities
- how to engage participants (including parents)
- how to set up and plan activities
- ideas for group and individual assessment
- how to carry out risk assessments
- how an outdoors programme can changechildren's lives for the
better.
