Cultivate an environment that supports intuitive movement

Intuitive movement links mind and body and focuses on how the physical activity makes children feel, it is centred around finding happiness and joy in movement. Each child/person will enjoy different activities, they should be encouraged and supported to find what they enjoy.

Link activity with other lessons to talk about how being physically active is good for mind and body (social, emotional and physical).
