Learning Through Movement and Active Play in the Early Years

A native South African who spent much of her childhood outside, Tania Swift says in this book that she is promoting the ways of moving and exploring which children have naturally done for generations. The book makes the case for ‘embodied learning’: we learn as we move and
we need to move to learn. As well as explaining the importance of physical activity for
promoting young children’s cognitive learning, well-being and physical development, it sets
out tips and examples for incorporating physical activity in the early years curriculum.
