"La série Bouger, réfléchir, apprendre aide les enseignantes et enseignants et les responsables de l’activité physique œuvrant auprès des enfants et des jeunes de la maternelle à la 9e année à acquérir une littératie physique[1] - connaissances, confiance en soi compétences – en proposant des activités uniques, inclusives et amusantes.

Misant sur l’approche Apprendre et comprendre par le jeu (ACJ[2] ), les enfants tentent de résoudre des problèmes tactiques par le jeu, réfléchissent aux options qui s’offrent et aux habiletés, et apprennent à appliquer ce savoir à divers contextes de jeu."

"The Move Think Learn Series supports physical activity leaders and teachers working with children and youth in Kindergarten to Grades 9 develop their physical literacy – knowledge, confidence, and competence – through unique, inclusive, and fun activities.

Using a Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) approach, children work through tactical gameplay problems, think through options and skills, and learn how to apply this learning to broader gameplay situations."
