Joy of moving MultiSport4Life.
Educating for sport, in sport, through multisport
In this section, we present video footage of primary school children and middle school students engaging in their interpretation of the various indoor and outdoor games and activities outlined in the handbook.
The training method we're introducing in this new text draws on the richness of sports and leverages young people's need to experience and feel capable of exploring new things while having fun. This method goes beyond training specific sports skills, connecting them instead to other sports disciplines. It avoids the risks of premature specialization and generic, unfocused diversification. This method goes beyond superficial similarities between related sports disciplines, instead, it delves deeper into cross-cutting skills that connect seemingly distant sports and sports environments.
After outlining the theoretical foundations of the method, the handbook provides clear examples with 8 games and activities. By varying different parameters of the task and context, these games transform and multiply, revealing the almost infinite number of possible evolutions!

Joy of moving. MindMovers&ImaginAction
The games collected in this part make up the application section of the handbook, “Joy of Moving – MindMovers and ImaginAction. Playing with variability to promote motor, cognitive and citizen development” by Caterina Pesce, Rosalba Marchetti, Anna Motta and Mario Bellucci, published in 2015 and subsequently updated and integrated in 2023.
All 70 games and their several variations to educate through movement are cataloged on the basis of the specific characterizing element of 1 single pillar, however, it is important to remember that they possess characteristics that synergically touch all the 4 domains on which the Joy of moving educational method lies.
The video tutorials of the games show 'real' children from 'real' classes engaged in the activities; in order to offer a didactically effective representation, we decided to provide a real context, not a controlled or manipulated one for the sake of filming. This was to measure the actual feasibility of the games, with children of all ages and backgrounds.
