Topic 4: GET READY
Suggested Homework & Tasks
Before you start developing activities to help more kids and young people enjoy the benefits of sport and physical activity, we suggest that you:
🔹 Choose an activity and a class, or a group in the club, to introduce clearly 2 of the 4 domains of physical literacy: physical and cognitive.
🔹 After this, check how the emotional and the social domains could also be developed in the same situation – or how to re-organise the environment to make it possible.
A list of additional resources
Should you want to dig further, we have come up with a carefully curated sample of communication tools & Guidance for exercises.
