How do we play to the stories? A practical proposal from animation to reading through physical education

This paper justifies the possibility of uniting children's literature in the area of Physical Education through a methodological proposal: "Playing tales". This proposal is based on the concept of motor story but insists on the importance of reading/understanding of the written text as a starting point. Subsequently, there has been a practical experience of 5 sessions during two academic years by applying this proposal of "Playing tales" in a kindergarden. The choice of stories and the design of the practical sessions has been done with full respect and completing the learning program proposed by the teachers holders in early childhood education. Finally, it describes a lesson by way of example of such experience. The findings suggest that "Playing tales" has proved to be a methodological proposal valid to achieve global and interdisciplinary programming based on stories and movement.
