100 Days of Movement Challenge - Back to School! πβοΈπ«
It's Day 49 of the challenge and we're continuing with our 'Back to School' theme.
This means we're focusing on our core groups of skills that are key to a child's physical education and talking a little bit about why they matter.
Today's focus is ball chasing. Give the challenge in the video a try!
Ball chasing is all about tracking a moving ball, moving quickly to get into the right position and controlling our body as we reach it. Itβs a skill children use across loads of different games and sports and itβs great fun to practise!
Practising ball chasing helps children develop:
π Tracking and focus
β‘ Speed and agility
π§ Reaction skills
πͺ Coordination, timing and control
π Spatial awareness
π Confidence
