• Choose the right activities for a child's age and developmental stage. If you don't, the child may be bored or frustrated. You may need to make tweaks to an activity so all of the children can join in whilst finding it appropriately challenging.
• Keep the focus on fun. Physical activity should be seen as enjoyable and not a chore. By getting them to love being active at an early age you are helping to create healthy habits that can last a lifetime.
• Take the children's interests and personalities into account when planning physical development sessions. For example, if you have a number of children interested in emergency services then you could perhaps incorporate this into wheeled vehicle play .
• Make sure that the wheeled vehicle zone isn't always dominated by the same children. Give all children the opportunity to get involved by rotating activities in small groups. This will encourage the less confident children to try out an activity without feeling intimidated by the more confident children who usually dominate the more popular items.
• Work with parents to ensure that clothing is appropriate for engaging in more energetic activities. Some footwear and long dresses can restrict activities such as climbing and tight jeans can restrict movement needed to run comfortably. Babies who are not yet walking outside do not need footwear.
• Preschoolers can find games with complex rules difficult to understand and often lack the attention span to engage with games like this.
• Don't overcrowd your timetable with too many activities. Give the children plenty of time to repeat practices to help them master and refine learned skills.
• Use music to help children explore movement and rhythm and understand
  movement vocabulary.
• Consider removing or re-utilising tables and chairs whenever you can to open up the space for more energetic play.
• Early 'mark making' activities such as use of crayons and paints should be done standing up at a vertical surface to develop the necessary back and shoulder muscles for handwriting.
• Make action songs and nursery rhymes more active and adapt them so that the whole body is involved.
• Don't assume a child knows how to get the most out of a piece of equipment or the environment. Although play should be initiated by the child, adults should be on hand to play with the children, offering suggestions, modelling possibilities, encouraging imagination and problem solving, and extending the children's skills.
