Practical movement support for different needs and settings
Children need regular opportunities to move, explore and practice physical skills.
Clear video guidance
Adult-directed videos help adults understand how to introduce each activity, while child-directed videos allow children to watch and hear the instructions before taking part.
Clear video guidance
Simple equipment
Many activities require no equipment. Many use simple, affordable equipment such as balls, beanbags, hoops, and ropes.
Simple Equipment
Simple, age-appropriate equipment engages children in sensory, visual, and tactile movement learning.
Using hand-held equipment develops manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination. Floor equipment helps to develop spatial awareness, body awareness, and stability.
Flexible to use
Select activities that children can practice individually, in pairs, or in small or large groups, based on your available equipment, space, and environment.
Flexible to Use
Carefully chosen search tags enable you to select activities to suit your needs.
You can select activities by time or space allocation, group or equipment type, age or difficulty level, activity type, or skill focus.
Easy to fit into the day
Use activities during morning circle, movement breaks, transitions, planned lessons, homeschool routines or outdoor play.
Easy to Fit Into the Day
MoovKids activities are easy to implement, and most can be done both indoors and outdoors.
Ready-to-use lesson plans for different ages save time and help to ensure that children build a strong movement foundation.
Focused on core movement skills
Activities support balance and stability, locomotor movement, object-control skills, coordination, body- and spatial awareness.
Focused on Core
Movement Skills
To develop well, both physically and cognitively, children must experience and practice a wide variety of movement activities.
Children learn especially well through joyful, play experiences. This is the foundation of the MoovKids program.
Support for different learning needs
Visual video demonstration, repetition and predictable instructions can help children who benefit from seeing an activity before joining in.
Support for different learning needs
Repetition of movement skills provides the opportunity to feel comfortable, to be included and to excel.
Child-directed videos support visual and verbal understanding of an activity before children physically execute it. Reluctant children may be more willing to actively participate.
