Description:
Physical activity is an activity/action in which children are actively involved into movement, running, playing games, exercising or doing some kind of sports (Adaškevičienė, 1999). According to S. Owczarek (2005), movement is the most significant factor of development. With the help of movement, children get acquainted to the world, surroundings, and gain new abilities. Children’s physical activity and its features are studied by Adaškevičienė, Strazdienė (2013), Mockevičienė (2003), Poteliūniėnė ir kt. (2007), Visagurskienė, Grigonienė (2016), Owczarek (2005) and others. According to statistics, approximately half of all preschoolers’ physical activity is insufficient (LR Ministry of Health Care, 2017). What is more, adults are responsible for the children’s unwillingness to be active and strengthen their health because adults act inappropriate: they do not show a good example of health care and form bad habits (Adaškevičienė, 2008). Thus, the problem of this research is how is physical activity promoted during pre school age? The subject of the paper is the promotion of preschoolers‘ physical activity. The aim of the paper is to reveal the peculiarities of the promotion of preschoolers‘ physical activity. The objectives of the paper: 1. To explain the importance of promotion of preschoolers‘ physical activity. 2. To identify how physical activity of preschool children is promoted. 3. To initiate, plan and realize the education project of children’s physical activity in educational institution „X“. Research methods: the analysis of scientific literature, survey (verbal), survey (written). This paper revealed that physical activity of preschoolers is very important, because it has a positive influence on personality as well as cognitive development. There are various means used to enhance the physical activity in pre-school: sports events/festivals, projects, the lessons of physical education or swimming lessons in the pool. To make physical education effective, the communication of teachers and parents is necessary because in this way physical activity is promoted not only in education institution but continues at home as well.
