Trainer

Hanneke Poot-van der Windt
Pediatric physiotherapist and psychomotor remedial teacher, works as a teacher in childcare and primary schools.

Introduction:

Playing outside is no longer a given for children these days. Why is outdoor play so important and how can children learn to do this?

Content of the Workshop:

Why should you play outside with children? In this workshop you will look at why playing outside is so important for children and in which developmental areas children are stimulated outside.

How can we challenge children to play outside and how can we make it more fun, so that you as a teacher also enjoy it?

You'll get to work together and you'll also reminisce about each other's childhood memories!

• Becoming aware of the importance of playing outside for motor, sensory, physical, cognitive, social and emotional development
• To be able to provide children with targeted activities and games outside.
• Children can be challenged to discover the world outside.
• Being able to design the outdoor space and knowing which criteria to follow and why.
• Which materials are a good challenge for outdoors?

Target Audience:

This workshop is aimed at anyone who works with or teaches children.

Maximum Number of Participants:

Method:

Besides theoretical knowledge, much will be provided through personal experience. Moving and experiencing what children experience will be a key element. During the course, the theory will be presented in addition to practical exercises outdoors.

And by creating a map of the outdoor areas, participants gain insight into the criteria that the design of these areas should meet for (young) children.

Material:

The trainer likes to use a flip chart.
