BRINCANDO DE CORDA: verificando os benefícios

Abstract

Jumping rope isn't just child's play, it's an excellent physical activity that works virtually every muscle in the body and adds health benefits. It rescues a traditional game and improves the children's motor coordination, balance and social contact. It requires a lot of coordination, leg strength and courage when you want to jump rope already spinning. The game encourages singing and favors disinhibition, helps in literacy, understanding rhymes, enriches vocabulary and, above all, stimulates the work of memory and the focus of attention. In this work, it was researched how the rope play emerged, where the benefits of rope for children will be discussed. This bibliographical work was based on the work of authors who are in favor of rope play based on physical maturation. The cognitive, motor and social affective benefit is emphasized.
