Physical play is an important part of early childhood education, in addition to promoting the physical development of children, but also to cultivate their will, self-confidence, group and future appreciation of beauty and expression are of great help, and children need to be satisfied from physical play, so that the body can grow up healthily, the spirit of the spirit to be full, and emotional harmony. Physical activities are generally categorized into large and small muscles. The main purpose of large muscle activities is to enable children to master the basic skills of physical development, such as balance, coordination, agility and flexibility ....... Physical activities in the early childhood stage are generally more oriented to this aspect of training.

In recent years, due to changes in the social environment, children have less and less space to move around and play, and with the proliferation of apartment buildings, children are like pigeons, returning home when the time comes, and then letting themselves out again when school is in session every other day, accompanied by TVs, computers, and endless talent classes. This, coupled with the over-protective parenting attitude of parents, has resulted in today's children having very poor physical fitness, poor stamina, a gradual increase in the number of children with sensory integration disorders, and a lowering of their relative resistance to illness. These problems are gradually being taken seriously by parents and kindergartens, which recognize that physical activity is also an important part of the learning curriculum for young children.

In fact, physical fitness for young children has been implemented in kindergartens in China for one or two decades, and each kindergarten has provided quite a lot of equipment to meet the needs of every young child in terms of the environment for young children to play and the apparatus for playing. In the game, physical activities are carried out individually, in groups or in groups, that is, through various kinds of games, children can give full play to their own imagination and add their own action games, instead of just issuing commands by the instructor, so that every child can have his/her own ideas and ways of playing.

"The physical activity games for young children can achieve effects that cannot be achieved by other kinds of games.

1. It can develop children's physical strength and endurance.
2. It can develop children's dexterity and skills.
3. It can also develop children's good exercise habits and interests.

In fact, physical fitness professionals are not the only ones who can instruct children in physical fitness activities, which in effect restricts the promotion of the program. In fact, every father and mother can be a physical fitness teacher for their children, as long as you pay attention to the safety of the play equipment and the safety of the environment and the rules of the game, and every day use 30 minutes to take your child to the school playground or nearby parks to exercise, and in the meantime to promote parent-children emotion, I believe that you can also be the king of the children in the hearts of the children.
