Active: From active activities children may gain a variety of skills as during these activities children are using their whole bodies and from this they are gaining gross motor skills. Gross motor skills are the large muscles of the body that enable us to walk, run, skip, hop, kick, sitting upright, lifting and throwing. As children gain gross motor skills they gain strength and muscle tone. Also from active activities children will gain physical fitness as they do a lot of running and jumping, this is also beneficial for their mental health as well as general health and as a practitioner we make exercising and active activities as fun as possible so children get all they can out of staying active
Shared activities. From activities that involve children to share they will gain skills that are vital for their development, skills that are needed later in life to ensure that they can co-operate with other people. They will gain sharing skills to allow them to take it in turns of a certain toy or activity, by doing so they will also play with other children and make new friends. Having relationships is vital as this effects their social and emotional development, this impacts largely on their later life because without any interaction they might not be able to try and go for that job they wanted as they may not be able to communicate during the interview, or they could struggle making new friends and even having a loving relationship. So sharing opportunities should always be put in place to enable the child to get the skills they need from them and to communicate with peers.
Group activities: During group activities children will learn how to trust one another and they will gain skills such as team building and making relationships, they will help children to share ideas with each other and to sit and listen to others as well as helping their communication, language and social skills. Group activities will enable children to express themselves within a group and this will also build on their confidence and self esteem.
Solitary activities: Solitary activities is a time where children can play alone and have time to think of ideas or solve problems by themselves this helps their thinking skills as well. It enables children to be able to work/play on their own initiative and will gain self teaching/learning skills. Solitary activities will strongly build on a child’s independence allowing the child to think for themselves and to be able to get through difficult problems by trying different approaches.
Thinking: While children are doing activities that involve them to think its helping their brain develop rapidly, they gain new skills and develop old skills all the time. Children will gain skills to be able to sit and think about a question or about a puzzle that they find a bit difficult, Thinking will interconnect with other areas of development as well. If a child Is doing something and they make a mistake then they know next time they do that then they know to not do it that way again, from this they have stopped and thought about what they did and how to make it better, and to try again in a different way, for example a child might be doing a puzzle they will realise one bit won’t fit a certain part, they put that to the side and when they come back to if after they know to not try it in the space they tried it in previously, this is the child learning a new skill by thinking.
