Len Saunders is an award-winning author and educator. Len has helped millions of children and their families stay healthy and fit for over 40 years. One of the top questions he frequently gets asked is "what physical activity skills does he think are most important for children to master during their elementary school years?" This inspired Len to write a poster book on the topic to help teachers and parents foster some important skills for young children which will help build proper growth and development. A poster book is a great teaching tool for children because it has images to hang on the wall with a separate description page to accompany the skill being learned. Every child is different, but modifications are the key. If your child cannot do a specific physical skill, that is fine. Modify the activity to their ability so it is challenging, yet attainable for them.
In this poster book, Len shares his top 10 physical activity skills children should understand before entering kindergarten while mastering these skills throughout their elementary school experience. This poster book will be a perfect resource not only for teachers but also for parents! The inside posters are a great teaching tool to hang in your classroom, gymnasium, or a wall at home. The beautiful (original) artwork is educational, colorful, professional, and eye-catching for children to study and learn. The text pages have some great tips and insight about specific physical skills that will enhance your children's strength, coordination, speed, agility, endurance, and cognitive skills.
For classroom teachers, there are 10 physical activity posters, one for each month of the school year, so you can have a physical activity of the month for a great health lesson. For parents, you can hang all the posters up in a room for your children to practice over and over with your supervision. Physical education teachers can use these posters as a great tool to use for station work in your gym.
