the importance of body movement activities

(+) development of motor skills and body language

“(...) usually, children made movements using their body to do everything. The body is so important that before starting speaking babies use their body as a way to interact with other people. For babies, body movements work as a language of communication. Further, children will use body movements to play and to do everything in their life (...)."

performing activities with gestures and body movements

(-) the excessive number of students in a class

“It is complicated to work with this kind of activities when we have many students in a class. I have 35 students in my class, it is too much (...) I’d want to work with 20 so I will be able to handle such activities and watch out what the students do."

performing activities with gestures and body movements

(+) promote practices of body movement and gestures using kinect

“Sometimes, I take my Kinect to my classes. (...) I am not sure if I’ve already taken here to this group of students... I think I applied only once activities using Kinect with these students. In the other school that I work, I’ve taken the Kinect more times."
