specific areas.

• Physical education (PE) is the only tool that plays significant role for
children development. It enhances competence and confidence of a
kid. If young kids are able to participate in physical activities then it
will help in developing their motor and cognitive skills.
• PE aids to be creative and competitive. In recent times, small kids do
not actively participate in physical games. Due to which their social
and physical development get affected badly. One of the main reasons
of organizing this workshop is to enhance knowledge of teachers and
coaches about how they can enhance participation of these kids.
• Sport activities are tools that develops critical thinking of persons and
make them able to deal with critical situations well.

Cont....
• Teachers and other people those who deal with small kids have to face many issues. By

can deal with children properly and can promote them towards physical activities. Physical
educational programs are useful in making children aware with value of health, improving
their social interaction skills.
• The reason for arranging this workshop is to enhance knowledge of teachers and their
management skills to deal with small kids properly. Another reason of organizing PE
workshop is to promote fitness as a fun activity. There are many people who do not take
interest in fitness that is why they do not encourage their kids or students towards it. If an
educator gives quality instructions to these kids then it would be better in promoting physical
fitness.
