B4G Activity Book 1
In this booklet you will find activities for you and your child to enjoy
together. Children learn best through play, so have fun with these
activities. We will be focusing on developing your child’s body
awareness and knowledge about feelings.
Body awareness involves understanding all body parts, their movements and where they are. This awareness enables us to for example walk without constantly looking at our feet, it helps us judge distances accurately to reach objects, and helps determine the necessary height to lift our leg when stepping on a stair etc.
It is important for children to recognise and name feelings so that they can manage their own feelings. Children who cope well with their feelings are less likely to be aggressive, they can learn better and make friends easier. Enjoy spending time with your child. You are your child’s first and most important teacher.
