The book offers new ideas for conducting physical activities – a methodological reservoir of exercises for practicing and developing motor skills, a reservoir of movement games, and fairy tale exercises. It shows how physical activity can be used for the overall development of a child – connecting with the psyche (development of concentration, thinking, imagination, creativity), development of social skills (especially in the theme How to Exercise a Fairy Tale), and development of gross and fine motor skills. Its aim is to provide general information so that individual exercises can be well adapted to the specific requirements of the educator regarding the age of the children they work with, as well as the current school and class educational plan. The book also contains information about the psychomotor development of children from birth to seven years and deviations from the norm. The book will be useful for educators in kindergartens and extracurricular activities for preschool children. Mgr. Vladimíra Ottomanská studied preschool and special education as well as FTSV. She worked for several years as a kindergarten teacher and is currently the director of MŠ Ottománek. She is also an instructor of hatja yoga for adults.
