Active Kids PE Concept
Watch, Listen and TRY!
What is important for children's activities is that they repeat things of their own accord, not because they are forced to.
Having fun is essential for students to repeat the learning process on their own,
and having fun is what motivates them to continue learning.
Active Kids PE aims to be a supporter that helps children acquire skills naturally and independently through fun, and to develop self-confidence and perseverance.
Move your body to the music,
let's have a blast!
Curriculum structure incorporating instructional behavior
Connections to elementary school and beyond
By 'watching' what the coach does and says, 'listening,' and 'trying' repeatedly, children learn to move their bodies according to the image they envision. Also a sense of rhythm is very important in physical activities, so children learn the joy of moving their bodies to the rhythm of music or drum beats.
Adding challenges to the fun,
it increases the satisfaction of "I did it!" and leads to self-confidence. Children also improve the ability to understand instructions, act accurately, and perseverance.
Your child will learn the movements necessary for the elementary school curriculum and beyond, such as the bar exercises, vaulting box, and jump rope, in a careful, step-by-step manner that is in line with their development.
Class Summary
Greetings and warm-up
The lesson begins with a "hello" and ends with a "goodbye."
Through call and response, children learn English words and phrases, while also creating opportunities to think for themselves and speak in their own words. When children are able to speak out loud, their movements naturally improve.
Once you are ready to concentrate and listen to the coach, the lesson begins with dynamic exercises (active movement).
Flexibility through mat exercises
Static exercises (flexibility exercises) are performed as part of the routine work in each lesson, with the aim of building bodies that are less susceptible to injury. When there are multiple people, students share a mat in pairs, and develop social skills by discussing turns and communicating with their partners. Forward and backward rolls performed with their backs to each other strengthen the semicircular canals, improving balance and ultimately leading to back flips on the horizontal bar. Depending on your level, you can even try cartwheels!
Example 1. Vaulting horse
The vaulting box is an event that gives children a sense of accomplishment. In addition to improving their overall explosive power and spatial awareness, the moment they successfully jump, children feel proud of themselves and their self-esteem increases. This successful experience helps them maintain a positive attitude when taking on other challenges. We practice and perfect each process, such as the approach, taking off with both feet, pushing off with the arms, and landing.
Example 2: Horizontal bar
The horizontal bar uses the whole body, so you can expect to improve muscle strength. A back flip may be the first skill a child will experience in their life, giving them a sense of effort and accomplishment. Since they can't do it right away, start by hanging from it, and then play around with it by imitating animals, etc., to get them used to the horizontal bar.
