Designed for students in Grades 3 to 8, this series aligns with the guidelines provided by the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2023 as per NEP 2020.

In today’s world, movement is the key to a child’s overall development. This book focuses on improving coordination, fitness, and motor control, through engaging activities, laying the foundation for a lifetime of healthy habits. Every chapter is developed to support growth in body awareness, agility, and teamwork, which are essential in sports and everyday life.

This book consists of three main units: Unit 1 - Basic Motor Movements focus on enhancing basic motor skills like throwing, catching, kicking, and striking through fun activities and games, helping students build confidence in movement.
