Movement promotes learning - this principle is the foundation of the concept of the active school. This volume provides insight into the development of the active school and presents various models alongside a developmental and learning-theoretical justification. However, the main focus is on the practical implementation of movement elements in everyday school life. This is pursued through two components: the movement break (for an active pause as an interruption of classroom instruction) and the active recess design (movement and play during lunch breaks). A comprehensive collection of exercises is available for both components. Therefore, the book is particularly aimed at teachers who want to incorporate movement through short exercises and games as a break in their lessons or implement it in a movement program during lunch breaks. What makes this volume special is its approach.
