One of the best ways to start a conversation about the power of big-body play in school, whether it is your classroom or the gym, is to tickle a little curiosity. That is what our posters are designed to do: help other adults understand the reasons you are incorporating play into your day.
Our poster package includes 5 colorful posters that encourage readers to talk to YOU about the strengths and skills needed for the classroom that are built on a foundation of big-body play. Whether it is a parent, administrator, another teacher or even the custodian in your school, these posters encourage conversation.
