  • Repost from @teaching.ninny.ones Thank you for using and enjoying our program! • I have been making a conscious effort to include play based activities and to get my students physically active during lessons. This is is because 1. When they get their bodies moving they’re better able to concentrate during direct instruction 2. It increases motivation and engagement in my lessons and 3. Students learn through playing and hands on activities. In year two students need to describe half and quarter turns and interpret simple maps of familiar locations and identify the relative positions of key features. We have been playing the most fun game called hula hoop cars. The students each have a hula hoop which is their car. We play in the undercover area so there is extra space, I don’t think it could work in the class. There are different directions that I call out and the students follow e.g green light means go and red light means stop. I integrated focus vocabulary into the directions like drive in a clockwise direction, turn left/right, make a quarter turn in an anticlockwise direction etc. we also have fun instructions like turn up the radio where everyone drops their hula hoop and dances and race car which means run. I got this game from @kiddo_australia which our school is participating in and I would highly recommend! In the classroom I have the cars and map out for students to play with. This map actually belonged to my husband who is now 40 years old! The kids loved giving each other directions to find each other’s cars parked on the map. #reuse #carplaymat #kiddo #teacher #teachertips #teachingnumeracy #playbasedlearning #physicalliteracy #iteachyear2 #directionandlocation #hulahoops #teachersofinstagram #aussieteachers

  • “I have never seen so many smiles on the children’s faces” 💫 One of the highlights of 2020 for KIDDO has been adapting our program for education support and students with special needs. KIDDO focuses on equipping educators with the resources and training they need to deliver programs that encourage physical literacy. At one school 🏫 the children had never done a P.E. lesson before. 👀 Keep an eye out as we share our lesson plans on the website soon Physical literacy is for all children

  • It's time for another Research Thursday update 👩‍🎓 This time we're looking at FMS assessment. FMS assessment can be really tricky in schools, finding the right tool, and the time to assess. One of the biggest challenges is using observation assessments, sometimes called process-oriented assessment. These are best practice in terms of informing our teaching but are time consuming, and can be unreliable, meaning the assessments aren't consistent. Outcomes based assessments, like the KIDDO challenge, are faster and have much better reliability. They also link closely to observational assessments in their ratings of proficiency. The KIDDO challenge gives the best of both worlds, with outcome measures and observational criteria ✅✅
