Physical Education in common with all other branches of the curriculum has been undergoing important changes with the adaptation of modern theories to the teaching of young children. Games and Folk Dances have come to occupy a well merited place in the child's education. Their successful use is largely the result of their strong universal appeal to the child in contrast to the rather remote interest stimulated by formal gym nastics. Under these circumstances Games and Rhythmic Action Plays are found to give a maximum of educational and recreative physical exercise.
