These COOL Moves Will Exercise Kids' Bodies and Kids' Brains

Learn how to teach the 8 locomotor steps:

  1. Walk
  2. Jump

The basic locomotor skills develop from the desire to move and the desire to explore. You can use the KidSKILLS Movement and Sports Training Manuals to guide your children and students through a simple series of progressively organized tasks that will bring them that:  I Can Do That! confidence!

Little People of Action ~ your children ~ are eager to explore their environment.

Creative movements develop from variations on the fundamentals of movement. One slide will be added to the first step of walking.

With some adults guidance, children can explore movement and try:the idea of repetition to gain a skill~then: 2 steps will become a series of rapid steps that develop a rhythm that feels good!

The best teacher is the one who suggests rather than dogmatizes, and inspires his listener with the wish to teach himself.
