Magic Movers enables people to get active together in a fun, imaginative way, so adults are strongly encouraged to join in throughout. Children learn immense amounts from copying a familiar adult. You don’t need to be fit, just willing to participate within your own abilities, and bring your sense of humour with you! DO ALL THE CHILDREN JOIN IN? Some children participate fully from the outset whilst others may take several sessions to engage. Magic Movers allows each child to participate at their own pace, with appropriate encouragement from the session leader and participating adults. Some children may prefer to just watch at first and that’s fine. Our sessions are full of praise for all the children, whether they join in all the time or not. To encourage your child, simply participate fully in the session yourself, so that your child can watch you and gain the confidence to copy your actions. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS? The overriding atmosphere is one of fun, but rest assured that the sessions are carefully constructed to provide valuable learning opportunities for your child and are devised to link to the Early Years Foundation Stage. Here are just a few of the benefits:

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY at an early age promotes a lifelong love of movement. Active children are more likely to be active adults – paving the way for a happy, healthy future. KINESTHETIC INTELLIGENCE - Movement stimulates neural wiring and spatial awareness. It can help with maths and logic, music, linguistics, social and interpersonal skills. IT'S FUN! Children experience praise and success, which enhances self esteem,confidence, creativity and self expression. SO WHY NOT COME AND GIVE MAGIC MOVERS A TRY? A WARM WELCOME AWAITS YOU.
