Physical
education plays a very important role in the overall
development of a child. We have introduced stacking at our
school in the physical education programme.
Stacking
on a very simplistic leve l
involves the child packing cups or cup shaped containers in
predetermined ways. Left hand cups are stacked onto right
hand cups and so forth.
Other physical activities
such as skipping, jumping and running are integrated into
the stacking activities.

Fundamental to all of this
is the proc ess
of teaching the child how to cross the so called "middle
line" which is vitally important to the spatial and physical
development of the child. |
