Physical education in elementary school lays the foundation for a child's journey into the world of movement. But what constitutes good physical education? What qualities define a good physical education teacher? This volume provides well-founded answers to these questions. The concept is firmly based on the subject curriculum for physical education and was developed in collaboration with the Faculty of Sports Science at the Technical University of Munich and a competent team of authors. The topics include: gaining fundamental experiences, playing together, creating movement, getting fit, and staying healthy. The volume contains practical lesson plans, comprehensive didactic commentary, a DVD with video clips of lessons, and a CD with music tracks and printable movement and image cards. This resource particularly facilitates the entry into physical education for teachers from other subjects and students.
