This presentation is based on a presentation given by Dr. Clersida Garcia on February 9, 2011 to CPIN on behalf of the California Department of Education, Child Development Division. CPIN would like to thank Dr. Garcia for her invaluable work as a co-writer and presenter on the physical development chapters of the California Preschool Learning Foundations, Volume 2 and California Preschool Curriculum Framework, Volume 2.

Public Service Announcement

Show the three new federal public service announcements about the importance of physical development and childhood obesity prevention, the “Let’s Move” campaign. Below is one example:

•“Get up and Play” featuring Shrek

Let’s Move!

Freeze Dance!!

Stand up from your seat and make sure there is plenty of room to move around.

Dance when you hear the music. Freeze when the music stops!

Guiding Principles to Support Physical Development

1. Developmentally appropriate movement programs accommodate a variety of individual difference among children.

2. Children often learn best through maximum active participation.

3. The physical safety of children’s play environments should be of paramount importance at all times.

4. Family members working as partners with teachers are key to enriching the physical development of children.

5. Inclusion of children with special needs is beneficial to all and promotes greater understanding and respect for diversity.

6. Children are multisensory learners with unique learning styles.

7. To maximize teaching effectiveness, movement skill learning should first focus on how children are moving with their bodies.

Guiding Principles to Support Physical Development

8. Children generally learn new movement skills more easily when they can focus on one specific aspect of the skill at a time.

9. Children benefit from ample opportunities to practice new physical skills.

10. Children benefit form integrated learning activities across the curriculum.

11. Frequency, intensity, type, and duration are the four key parameters to designing activity physical play to enhance children’s fitness and health.

12. Physical skills are more easily learned when clear instructions and appropriate feedback are provided in children’s home language using familiar communication methods.

Public Service Announcement• Have one person at the table get a Guiding

Principle from facilitator (Preschool Curriculum Framework, Volume 2, Guiding Principle, pp. 2-5)

• Create a 60-second public service announcement along with a poster to convey the key points of your guiding principle

• Be ready to present your public service announcement to the group

• REMEMBER—Time is money! Keep your announcement to 60-seconds and no more.

1.0 Active Participation

2.0 Cardiovascular Endurance

3.0 Muscular Strength, Muscular Endurance and Flexibility

• Essential to the optimal development and overall health of young children

• Prepares the brain for learning

• Physical activity infused throughout the preschool day promotes children’s ability to attend, be ready to learn, and regulate their emotional responses

• Enhances the foundations of physical development

What It Might Look Like…

Practical Activity

Horses and Buggies

• With a partner, grab a jump rope.

• Have one person in front and the other behind holding jump rope around front person’s waist.

• Listen to the leader for directions as you move around the room. (Walk, trot, gallop, and WHOA!!!)

Substrand Picture Match

Find the picture that best matches the Active Participation substrand card.

Interactions and Strategies to Support the Development of

Active Participation

• Provide ample opportunities for children to engage daily in active play.

• Remember that young children’s physical activity patterns are intermittent.

• Create activities and environments that invite children to be physically active.

• Make them aware of their body’s physiological changes.

Practical Activities

• Zoo-mers parade

• Find a treasure (different leaves, colors, shapes, stones and sticks) to create projects

• The Fairy Godmother game

• Trees and squirrels

• Engage children of all ability levels in activities that promote increased cardiovascular endurance.

• Promote cardiovascular endurance through chasing and fleeing activities.

Interactions and Strategies to

Support the Development of

Cardiovascular Endurance

• Provide positive encouragement for participation.

• Recognize effort.• Provide story play.

Reflection• How can teachers and families increase

participation in physical activity that follows the national guidelines?

“60 minutes structured and at least 60 minutes unstructured physical activity daily”

• How can teachers increase children’s participation in ways that are purposeful, meaningful, and fun?

Parking lot questions

Make and Take

• Provide materials for participants to make something related to a game.

• See IMIL handout for ideas.

Public Service Announcement

These are an option if you would rather do the Factors in the Environment that Influence Physical Development instead of the Guiding Principles.

Factors in the Environment that Influence Physical Development1. Teachers promote optimal physical development when

they provide children with positive encouragement and quality instruction (both indirect and direct).

2. The immediate physical environment is a powerful influence on children’s physical development.

3. Indoor and outdoor play environments should include a variety of appropriately sized equipment that promotes both gross and fine motor development.

4. Learning is most meaningful when the environment/materials reflect and accommodate children’s individual interests, backgrounds, and present abilities.

Factors in the Environment that Influence Physical Development5. Take time to build safety into both the indoor

and outdoor play.

6. Movement experiences should include exploration, discovery, and appreciation of the natural environment.

7. Thoughtfully designed, adult-guided movement experiences support children’s physical development.
