Workshop Details

Dominique Chiquet's International Motor Skill Learning Certification Program is a comprehensive workshop that focuses on providing enjoyable and all-inclusive physical activities to build self-confidence, cooperation, fair play, and responsibility in children, while encouraging their motor skill development. With over 16,000 certified trainers worldwide, the workshop demonstrates over 200 developmentally appropriate hands-on games and activities. These activities aim to inspire and motivate children and can be easily incorporated into ongoing physical education programs.

This workshop is hands-on and movement-based, incorporating a stimulating assortment of fun-packed, educational games and ideas that not only focus on participation and involvement, but will also intrigue, engage, and motivate students for years to come. Some of the highlights of the workshop include learning how to incorporate different motor skill activities into lesson plans, understanding how to modify activities for children with varying abilities, and gaining insight into how to create a safe and enjoyable learning environment for all children. Participants will leave the workshop with new ideas, strategies, and practical resources to enhance their physical education programs and better serve the developmental needs of their students.
