丰富多样的身体活动每天都伴随着儿童之家的孩子们，舞蹈律动、基础动作练习、运动游戏等活动不仅满足了孩子们运动的需求，还促进着他们身体动作的协调发展，让孩子们在运动中体验快乐。
Kids in EYAS have a variety of physical activities every day, such as rhythm and dance, basic movement exercises, and sports games. They are not just meet the demand of children’s physical needs, but also promote the coordinated development of their body movements. The most important is, our children gain happiness from these activities.
Now, let’s see those shining moments.
Crawling and Jumping Practice --- Bunny, Go!

开展IC班幼儿（1.5-3岁）的体能活动中，老师会先用讲述故事的方式，将孩子们引入到体能游戏中——视频中，孩子们化身为兔兔，需要跃过小山坡吃嫩草。
During IC Class physical activity period, teachers use stories to lead children in the playing of games. In the video, we can see that children are playing as rabbits by scrambling over the hill and pretending to eat grass.
首先孩子们先用六点支撑或者四点支撑爬行的基础动作爬过漂浮垫，并用双脚跳的方式跃过小山坡。针对不同的孩子，老师引导的方式也有区别。更小龄的孩子通常无法双脚离地跳跃，老师也会抱起孩子，让孩子体验双脚离地的感受。
First of all, children practice basic physical activities by using their feet, hands, and knees. They crawl over the floating mat on their hands and knees, and then they jump over the hillside with both feet. Teachers use different ways to guide children, based on the child’s ages and abilities. Younger children cannot jump with both feet yet, so teachers help them to experience the feeling of feet off the ground.
在看似简单的体能游戏中，手脚爬行的动作锻炼了上下肢协调能力，又通过跳跃的练习为双腿的爆发蓄力。
These fun and easy activity games are important for young children. Crawling with their hands and feet improves children’s coordination of their upper and lower limbs, at the same time as it strengthens their leg muscles.

IC班的孩子们（1.5-3岁）正处于规则养成的阶段，他们的体能活动在满足体能发展的同时，也要具有相应年龄段的兴趣点，从而吸引孩子能自主参与整个体能活动。先一起热热身，我们就开始过独木桥啦！
Children in IC class (1.5-3 years old) are in the stage of discipline development. Their physical activities should not only meet the need of their physical development, but also have the interest points of the corresponding age group, so as to attract children to participate in a whole physical activity spontaneously. Now, let's warm up together, and then we are going to cross the single-plank bridge!
照片中孩子们正在进行平衡练习。针对IC班的年龄特点，老师将平衡木降至贴地高度，增加孩子们挑战的信心。在锻炼平衡力的同时，孩子们也要接受过独木桥的规则——掉下去了，要重新站上平衡木走完全程哦！孩子们曾经看到过哥哥姐姐过的是很高的独木桥，他们也想尝试一下，只不过他们现在还做不到双脚交替行走，只能侧身行走呢。
Children in pictures above are doing balance training. According to the age characteristics of IC class, teachers lower the balance beam to the ground height in order to increase the confidence of children to face the challenge. When children are doing the balance training, they have to accept the rule -- once they fall to the ground, they have to get back to the balance beam and finish the whole journey! Look, these children are eager to try since they had seen their elder brothers and sisters in school walking on the high single-plank bridge. But now they have to walk sideways since they are unable to switch right and left leg when walking on it.
平衡木练习2——30公分独木桥
Balance Beam Exercise 2 -- 30-centimiter Single-Plank Bridge
Casa班的小龄孩子组（3-4.5岁）在10月的体能活动中练习了攀爬的基础动作，这个月他们已经开始挑战30公分的平衡木啦！
In October, Children from Casa class small age group (3-4.5 year old) practiced climbing relate basic activities during the physical activity period. While in this month, they have started to challenge the 30-centimeter balance beam.
今天这款运动游戏叫做“探索独木桥”，孩子们在平衡木上左右脚交替行走，并且要钻过老师设置的障碍，不仅锻炼了身体动态平衡能力，还提升了他们的自信心、培养了勇气与挑战的精神呢！我们一起来看看孩子们在运动中的表现吧！
The game that you can see from pictures is called “Exploring the single-plank bridge”. Children need to keep switching right and left leg when walking on the “bridge”. While at the same time, they also need to pass obstacles set up by teachers. This game not only can increase children’ ability of dynamic balance and improve their confidence, but also can encourage them to face challenges. Let’s see how these children perform!
大家观察到孩子们一丝不苟的表情了么？在平衡木上行走可是要小心再小心哦！
Did you notice how seriousness these kids are? That’s because walking on a single-plank bridge definitely requires great care.

视频中还有三位小伙伴协作，一边过障碍一边在平衡木上行走，这不仅对每个人的平衡能力提出了更高的要求，还考验着孩子们的协作能力，当三个人一起完成了挑战，他们的满足感加倍了呢！
In the video above, you can tell there are three partners working together to cross obstacles as well as walking on the “bridge”. When the number of participants increased to three, it not only puts higher requirements on every child’s balance ability, but also tests their ability to cooperate. Meanwhile, when three children complete the challenge successfully, their self-satisfaction doubled.

Casa班大龄组的小朋友（4.5-6岁）自年初至今，整个学年都在进行着——走、跑、跳、攀爬、平衡、爬行的基础动作练习，孩子们已经在各项动作的稳定性方面有了长足的进步。现在，他们在持续练习着基础动作的同时，又开启了足球专项运动的探索之旅。
Since the year start, the children around 4.5-6 years old in Casa Class have been practicing the basic movements such as walking, running, jumping, climbing, balancing, and crawling. Children have made steady progress in the stability of their movements. In this semester, in addition to consistently practicing these basic movements, the children start to experience football activities.
视频中，孩子们看到老师示范后，初次接触了足球的基本动作以及有趣的射门。在今后的足球教学中，老师们也会通过游戏的方式，介绍更多足球技术，相信这样的探索不但可以增强孩子们身体的灵活度、协调性，更是在孩子们心中散播下热爱一项运动的火种，从小便培养孩子们终身运动的习惯。
After teacher’s demonstration, the children were introduced to the basic movements of football and the shooting. In the future, teachers will present more football skills through games. We believe that football exploration activities can enhance the flexibility and coordination of children’s bodies. More importantly, it is a way for the children to experience the charm of sports and make it a life-long habit.
