Stimulating movement literacy with Monkey Moves Play
In Dutch science we now also use the term “movement literacy.” This refers not only to acquiring physical motor skills but also to the socio-emotional skills around sport and movement. Together these ensure a lifetime of movement. That is exactly what Monkey Moves Play focuses on for children and their parents.
Movement literacy
is the motivation, (self)confidence, physical skills, knowledge and understanding of the importance of movement and sport, and taking responsibility for a lifetime of movement.
Meeting movement guidelines? Child’s play!
With Monkey Moves Play we encourage parents to be active for one hour daily with their little one. This contributes about 1/3 to achieving the movement guideline for young children. And we develop them broadly motorically at the same time!
